The Vermont Green Party (VGP) or Vermont Greens formed in 2002 [1] and was a state-level political party in Vermont .
They were formed out of organizing around Ralph Nader 's presidential campaigns in 1996 and 2000 . The VGP was one of two established state green parties that refused to place the 2004 national presidential nominee, David Cobb on its ballot line, endorsing Nader's independent campaign instead. [2] The party ran statewide and local candidates from 2002 to 2010 , but was split by internal tensions and both factions dissolved by 2011 and were absorbed back into the Progressive Party
