That is really unfortunate because it's going to be that much harder for anyone who wants to promote environmentalism because it'll be associated with the green party in your country. We have a green party here as well, but they have almost no political power on the national scale.
It's good that at least someone in the conservative/republican party over there at least passes the rhetoric of good environmentalism, so that's something. Here in the US, the conservatives couldn't care less about environmentalism, unless they think they can get votes off it, but then the last time they tried to be 'environmentally friendly' their chant was "drill, baby, drill."
