I removed a major part of the article twice, as I consider the text based on incorrect statements:

  • "The alliance builds upon cooperation between these parties within the European Parliament dating back to 1995." is incorrect. These parties have bonds going back decades.
  • "NGL's component parties have roots in socialism (the Norwegian and Danish parties) and communism (the Swedish and Finnish parties)." - the dichotomy of socialism vs. communism is incorrect. Communism is a socialist ideology and all the five parties have some sort of past in the communist tradition.
  • "Accordingly, rather than align with the pan-European Green Party or their Greens-EFA parliamentary group, NGLA's member parties sit in the European Parliament as part of the larger European United Left - Nordic Green Left group." - actually the Danish SF MEP has joined the Green group. Moreover, NGLA has nothing to do with EU structures.
  • " As NGLA 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 and therefore cannot be recognized by the EU as a legal pan-European political party.[1]" - NGLA is not a political party, and is not intended to be one.
