-
- Technically, the American Green Party is a separate entity from their
- European counterparts, though modeled after it. I would suggest
- alt.politics.usa.party.green and alt.politics.europe.party.green.
- This would allow for full-fledged party-based sub-hierarchies to
- develop (I was working on such a proposal, but my obligations to the
- real world have kept me from dealing with it).
-
- Just as an aside, I would not support putting the Perot group under
- this sub-hierarchy, as they are not recognized as a political party in
- a single state (whereas the Green Party is recognized in about a half-
- dozen states).
