The party won ten seats in the 1991 election. Despite small losses in the 1995 election, Pekka Haavisto joined Paavo Lipponen’s first cabinet, which was composed of a rainbow coalition. This made the Green League the first green party to form part of a national cabinet. The party remained in government until 2002 when it resigned in opposition to nuclear power. The party slowly rose in popularity between 1995 and 2007, when winning a total of 15 seats, and joined the center-right-led government.

History

Founding

The Green League was founded on 28 February 1987 and was registered as a political party the next year. Political activity had begun already in the early 1980s, when environmental activists, feminists, disillusioned young politicians from the marginalized Liberal People’s Party and other active groups began to campaign on green issues in Finland. In 1995, it was the first European green party to be part of a state-level cabinet.The party was founded as a popular movement, which explains its name’s descriptor liitto, “league”. Initially, there was much resistance within the movement against the founding of a political party, motivated by Robert Michels’ iron law of oligarchy, which claims that movements inevitably degenerate into oligarchies when they create a formal organization.Rauli Mickelsson. Suomen puolueet - Historia, muutos ja nykypäivä. Vastapaino 2007, 429 pages. The party still especially stresses openness and democratic decision-making. Even though liitto has been dropped from the party’s website and advertisements, the word still remains in the official name.

Early activities (1983–1994)

The first two parliamentary representatives were elected even before the registration, in the 1983 parliamentary election. These were the first independent representatives in the Finnish Parliament. In 1987 the number of seats rose to four, and in 1991 to ten.About half of the party’s members were against Finland joining the European Union in 1994. Later, polls showed that most Greens were anti-Eurozone.WEB,blogs.helsinki.fi/vol-spj/suomi-eussa/, 4.2 Suomi Euroopan Unionissa, The party heads declined to fight against euro adoption.

As part of the Lipponen Cabinets (1995–2003)

In the 1995 election, the Green League received a total of nine seats out of 200. The party joined the coalition cabinet led by the Social Democratic Party, and Pekka Haavisto became the Minister of the Environment,WEB,valtioneuvosto.fi/en/government/history/governments-and-ministers/report/-/r/m1/66, Composition of a certain government, 66.

The Greens continued in the next coalition cabinet, but resigned in protest on 26 May 2002, after the cabinet’s decision to allow the construction of a new nuclear plant was accepted by Parliament.

Growth to mainstream appeal (2003–present)

In 2003, the Green League received 8.0% of the vote, receiving a total of 14 seats. They increased their seats to 15 in the 2007 election while receiving 8.5% of the vote. In the 2011 election, the party lost five seats.In the 2009 European Parliament elections, the Greens gained two of the thirteen Finnish seats in the European Parliament, which were occupied by Satu Hassi and Heidi Hautala.At the municipal level, the Greens are an important force in the politics of the main cities of Finland. In the municipal election of 2008 the Greens received 8.9% of the vote; the vote share was considerably higher in Helsinki, where the Greens became the second-largest party with 23.2% of the vote.WEB,yle.fi/vaalit2008/tulospalvelu/vaalipiirit/puolueiden_kannatus_vp1.html, Vaalit 2008 tulospalvelu - Helsinki - Puolueiden kannatus, Yle.fi, 2008-10-30, 2013-12-23, fi, In several other cities, the Greens achieved the position of the third-largest party.
