HP Party. Don't like the Religious Fundamentalist Left.
This.

Green Left is so much better.
They were not "fundamentalist", though, and actually one of the predecessors of GL. The "evangelical" part of their name can perhaps be misleading to US posters. The word does not have the same connotation here.

America has far less authoritarian influences. We also, for better or worse, severely dislike religious involvement in government and vice versa.

Also, from Wikipedia:
"The party combined left-wing ideas with a green program, inspired by the New Testament. The Sermon on the Mount was an important inspiration for the party. The Sermon was seen as an evangelical imperative to create a society where justice, peace and solidarity would rule. Important issues for the party were:

"A pacifist foreign policy, especially opposition to the placement of nuclear weapons.

"It sought to formulate an alternative to both capitalism and communism. It proposed the economy of enough, in which incomes would be redistributed, people would get more rest (for instance by a government-financed sabbatical for all) and damage to the environment would be limited."

Although I am probably by American standards "Religious Fundamentalist Left" still prefers SGP.

Well,now I obviously think it's a FF party, with caution with their social progressive positions. That was one year ago, I was officially an unaffiliated agnostic.
