[Lnc-business] Why are there two Green Parties?

[Scott L.]

Paul Frankel sent a private reply to me about my Green Party analogy that
sent me to Wikipedia, where I found the following.

 

This is the LP of Oregon, writ large.

"The source of the rift between the two national Green parties is a matter
of contentious debate. Some point to differences of political philosophy or
views on the proper structure of the party or attitudes toward elections,
while others suggest it was more about personality conflicts, turf
struggles, and poor communication leading to concerns about financial and
political accountability, or perhaps the 1991 name grab or the inaccurate
G/GPUSA FEC filing in 1995. It is important to note that the heated debates
and the fighting that was waged for several years at the national level (and
among Greens within a few states, such as New York
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York> , Missouri
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri> , California
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California>  and New
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey>  Jersey) seemed largely irrelevant
to the vast majority of grassroots Greens, who preferred to devote their
energies to local organizing."
