The '''Green Party of the Oan Isles''' ([[Wikipedia:Maori language|Oan]]: ''Te Paati Kakariki o Nga Motuere Oa'') is the largest political party in [[the Oan Isles]] by total volunteers. It was founded in the 1960s following student and youth protests against smog caused by industrial activity. It ascribes to environmentalist socialist democratic ideology. The highest recognised offficial is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, [[Arana Marama]].
==History==
The Green Party was established in the 1960s, when industrialisation led to increased pollution and destruction of the Oan Isles' natural habitat. Thus, young people and university students protested against the smog especially in major cities such as Tauranga a te Toka and called on the national government to act. The movement galvanized around a charismatic leader and they registered the Green Alliance as a non-profit. The Green Alliance supported its membersin seeking political office and was thus required by the Election Law to register as a political party. It did this, and became the Green Party. The Green Party faced major birthing pains due to the various conflicting interests and the radical nature of its members. Through time the organization began faltering, to the dismay of its senior leadership. They eventually forced the head of the party to resign and they Reformed the organization to be highly decentralized. Over time, other political parties dissolved and the Green Party rose to prominence and became the largest political party in the country.
==Ideology==
The Green Party ascribes to environmentalist social democratic ideals. It describes it a primary goals as advancing the protection and preservation of natural habitats, the responsible and sustainable use of natural resources, and the use of nature to improve the quality of life of the people of the Oan Isles. To achieve these goals, it uses Socialist democratic political thinking. For instance, it believes that the government should and must intervene in the free market to protect nature and ensure sustainability of natural resources through regulation and control of strategic economic sectors. It believes that the free market it inherently willing to threaten the natural environment and must thus be carefully watched to stop it. Thus, the Green Party has an uneasy relationship with large companies especially the Oan Petroleum Corporation (OAN OIL) as it believes the exploitation of fossil fuels in inherently evil.

==Organisation==
[[File:Official Portraid of Arana Marama.png|thumb|241x241px|Arana Marama, Head of Party]]
The Green Party consists of Branches at local and community level. The branches make most decisions by a vote of all members and they appoint different members to head initiatives and programs and represent their interests at higher levels. They form the foundation of the party as they carry out initiatives, campaign for elections, and provide for the well-being of their members. There is no formal membership process as people come and go as they choose. The branches have a lot of autonomy especially compared to other parties and they are not always obligated to abide by decisions made by higher structures. Branches are grouped into clusters at a local government level, then into sectors at island-level. These structures exist entirely for coordination and support. There is no national authority in charge of the party per-se.
