The Norwegian Greens (Bokmål: Miljøpartiet De Grønne, Nynorsk: Miljøpartiet Dei Grøne, Northern Sami: Birasbellodat Ruonát) is a Norwegian political party, formed in October 1988 from a number of local environmental election lists. The party has no members of parliament (gaining 0.3 % in the 2009 elections), but has some representation in municipality councils (gaining 1,3 % in the 2011 elections)[1]. The party and election analyst Svein Tore Marthinsen viewed the 2011 elections as a breakthrough, since the party gained 17 seats in municipal councils and one seat in the Hordaland county council. They are now represented in Norway's three largest cities, Oslo, Bergen, and Trondheim[2].
The party does not have a leader in the traditional sense, rather it is led by the national board which consists of five persons. Among the board members, two persons (currently Hanna Elise Marcussen and Harald A. Nissen), act as national spokespersons for the party. All party representatives are elected during the annual party convention.
Miljøpartiet De Grønne is a member of the European Greens and the Global Greens.
