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, and before that PEOPLE. In 1990, it separated into three regional political parties within the United Kingdom:[1][2]

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.
