European United Left - Nordic Green Left
The European United Left–Nordic Green Left is a socialist and communist political grouping within the European Parliament.
It combines the European United Left subgroup (which consists of a core of parties that are in the European Left party and a periphery of unaffiliated leftist parties) and the Nordic Green Left subgroup consisting of MEPs from the Nordic Green Left Alliance parties of Sweden and Finland.
It has several classes of members: Member Parties are those who are full members of the group. Several parties recently moved from being Observer Parties to Member Parties as their countries joined the EU. Associate Member Parties are from European countries not in the EU. Parties with MEPs as Associate Members are those who do not want to be full members of the group.
