**Abstract** By using voting advice application data collected from candidates from the danish municipal election in 2017 and creating two indices - one for the traditional “socialist-capitalist” scale and one for a new “green” scale - I show that the two follow each other very closely and are almost interchangeable. The “reddest” parties are indeed also the “greenest”. **Key words:** socialist-capitalist scale, left-right scale, socialism, capitalism, liberalism, green movement, voting advice application **Introduction** This paper looks into the relationship between the “red” and the “green” political ideologies. By creating indices that measure the two I look at how closely they are related in a danish context. “Arguably, the most important dimension structuring political contestation in both theoretical models and substantive descriptions of party competition, at least in Western Europe, is the left-right dimension” (Evans and De Graaf 2013). This left-right dimension has traditionally been seen as a socio-economic dimension capturing greater or lesser government regulation of the market and redistribution of wealth. It is interchangeable with a socialist-capitalist dimension, what I here call the red political ideology - in my terminology, red and socialist are the same. But many scholars have argued that the socialist-capitalist dimension cannot stand alone (Inglehart 1971; Kitschelt 1994; Kitschelt and McGann 1997; Kriesi et al. 2006; Kriesi et al. 2008) and that “party competition in most polities is structured by a second orthogonal dimension, tapping cultural, communal, and environmental issues.” (Evans and De Graaf 2013). Here I am looking at the environmental issues, what I call the “green” ideology or movement. “There is an ongoing debate about the exact substantive meaning of these dimensions and whether party competition can be presented as uni-dimensional with left-right as a ‘super’ dimension structuring contestation among parties, or whether a second (or multiple) dimensions are required to adequately characterize competition among parties.” - Evans and De Graaf (2013) So, where does the green movement belong? Is the green movement indeed a separate and independent movement that moves perpendicular to the traditional “socialist-capitalist” dimension or is it actually just a subset of the left-right “super dimension”? If it is an independent movement then placing the parties in space along several indices will provide a better and more detailed mapping of the parties in relation with each other, whereas if it is merely a sub-ideology of the “super dimension” then a separate “green” distinction will not add any additional knowledge. In Denmark we often associate the green movement with the socialist leaning parties and the most socialist party in the Danish parliament “The Red-Green Alliance” even bears the word “green” it in its name. But now and again we also hear about how green the danish conservatives are (Pedersen 2014), even though the conservatives are firmly planted on the capitalist side of the traditional socialist-capitalist political spectrum. The socialist parties see the green movement as a natural part of the socialist movement because it addresses issues and problems created by capitalism. As “The Red-Green Alliance” writes on their website: “The fact that the capitalist society is based on private property and market economy has serious consequences not only for society and for individuals but also for nature and the environment.” (translated from Danish, (“Delprogram: Miljøkampen,” n.d.)). Danish conservative thinkers on the other hand see the care for the environment as part of a contract with future generations: “A healthy and sustainable environment is the prerequisite of life not only for the generations that were before us, not just for us living, but also for the future generations that come after us.” (translated from Danish, (Pedersen 2014)). So where does the green movement belong? As an independent movement that unites both conservatives and socialists or is it in fact just a sub-movement of the larger socialist-capitalist ideological spectrum? **Conclusion** By creating an index to measure the position of danish parties on the traditional “socialist-capitalist” scale and a new index to measure the parties position on a “green” scale we see that these follow each other very closely. In a Danish context there does not seem to be a difference between red and green parties. They are in fact the same.
