The Green Party, also known as the Green Party UK, was a Green political party in the United Kingdom.
Prior to 1985, it was called the Ecology Party; before that, it was also named PEOPLE. In 1990, it separated into three regional political parties within the United Kingdom,[1][2] those being the Green Party of England and Wales, the Scottish Greens, and the Green Party Northern Ireland.
Despite the UK Green Party no longer existing as a unified entity, "Green Party" (singular) is still used colloquially to refer collectively to the three separate parties; for example, in the reporting of opinion polls and election results.
