Environmental Green Political Assembly





HISTORY AND CURRENT POSITION

The party grew out of The Sakigake Party , which renamed itself to Midori No Kaigi after it adopted a policy of ecologism. Sakigake itself grew out of the New Party Sakigake movements of the 1990s .

Midori no kaigi had most of its support from the ecologists of Japan, as well as some people who left the ruling Liberal Democrats .

On domestic policy the party was Ecologist , Conservative , and right-wing Reformist . It tended to support, like the Liberal League , the ruling Conservative bloc, made up of the Liberal Democratic Party and the New Clean Government Party .

The party, however, had no seats in the Diet, even though it made a goal of one seat in the House of Councillors election in July 2004, which it did not gain. On 2004-07-22 , Midori no kaigi dissolved itself, not grouping itself into a new party, but just dissolved - spelling an end to the Sakigake movement of Japanese politics. The dissolution was registered with Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on 2004-10-31 .
