The Craftian Greens (abbreviated as GPC for Greens Party of Craftia, its former name, currently branded as simply The Greens) is a minor green political party in Craftia. It was formed by a group of environmental activists, led by Nora Sayo, in 2029 in response to the abandonment of many environmentalist policies by the centre-left Liberal Party of Craftia. The Greens was founded as a left-wing alternative to the major parties. The party advocates for social justice, economic and environmental sustainability, and peace.
The party has acquired a stable voting base of around 1–2% of the popular vote over its four-decade-long history, having achieved uninterrupted parliamentary representation since its second contested federal election in 2034, with the exception of the 26th Parliament (2061–2064). Although it is regarded as one of the "Big Six" (the six parties usually represented in the federal parliament), it has a reputation of being the "largest minor party", usually outpolling all other minor parties in elections but often being far outpolled by the dominant five parties. It was, however, the fifth-largest party between 2043 and 2049 and occasionally wins more seats the Mojang Democratic Party and Craftian Reform Party.
The Greens' strongest electoral bastions are inner-city metropolitan areas, where it often competes with the centre-left Liberal Party of Craftia. Its core voter demographic is mainly young white voters living in high density urban areas as well as some rural coastal areas that have been affected by environmental issues arising from fracking, mining and deforestation.
Currently, the Greens have two MPs in the House of Representatives and four Senators. It also has parliamentary representation in six states (and is currently serving as a junior partner in a coalition government with the National United Party in Jebsten).
The party's current leader has been May Weatherill since 2072.
