The alliance was renamed on instigation of the PSP, which disliked the term "green".^[3] The alliance executive was chaired by Wim de Boer.^[4] In the 1989 general election the three parties together formed a common list called GroenLinks. In 1990 the parties dissolved and GroenLinks was formed as a political party.
