Nordic Green Left Alliance

The Nordic Green Left Alliance (NGLA) is a green and socialist political party at the European level founded in Reykjavík on February 1 2004. As it is based purely in the Nordic countries, it does not meet the requirement of having members originating in one-quarter of European Union member-states [1] and is therefore technically unrecognized by the EU.

NGL's component parties are not aligned with the pan-European Green Party or their Greens-EFA parliamentary group; they instead have roots in communism. Accordingly, they work with other European communist and postcommunist parties. NGLA's member parties sit in the European Parliament as part of the larger European United Left – Nordic Green Left group.

Current members are:

• Left Alliance (Finland)
• Left-Green Movement (Iceland)
• Left Party (Sweden)
• Socialist Left Party (Norway)
• Socialist People's Party (Denmark)
