You got it. <applause>
Cheers BB. A political one. Which is the only country in the World to have had a Green Party head of government ? I mean a country here (as opposed to a state such as Baden Wurtemburg) and an actual head of government (as opposed to a symbolic president eg. in Austria). In other words a whole country where the Green Party actually finished first and had to form a national government.
 
Depending on the definition of 'green' Col Gaddafi claimed to be 'green' (note his national flag for Libya).
I would guess that your answer is Latvia.

It is Latvia NZ. Indulis Emsis became the only head of government from the Green Party in February 2004 when he formed a Green Party minority government which only lasted for 10 months before being forced into a coalition. Although the Latvian Green Party calls itself a centre right party it is still a member of the European Greens. I had forgotten about Gaddafi's Green Book - but this is more a statement of Arab Socialism than of 'Green' politics, although there are similarities. Over to you.
