The side-green Coalition or side-green Force (泛綠軍 Pinyin fànlǜjūn), is an abstract political alliance of the beginning of the 21e century with Taiwan, made up of the Democratic party progressist (DPP), of the Union for the solidarity of Taiwan (TSU), and the Parti for independence Taiwan (TAIP). The name comes from the colors of the Democratic party progressist, which at its origins adopted the green partly because of its association with the movement ecologist. In contrast with the side-blue Coalition, the side-green coalition tends to support the independence of Taiwan on the unification of Taiwan and the RPC, although members of the two coalitions moderated their policies to allure the voters of the center.

This strategy is helped by the fact that the voters do not vote for a party according to the relations with the continental China. This is particularly true for the undecided voters. The parties which formed the side-green Coalition largely have benefit of the perception which they were less corrumpus that the governing party Kuomintang.

The side-green Coalition formed after the presidential of 2000, gained elections Li Tenghui and which were excluded from the Kuomintang and created its own party, the TSU, which maintains a program independence.

The dynamic interns of the side-green Coalition are different from that of the side-blue colition. Contrary to the blue coalition side, which is made up of parties of close size with very similar ideologies, the side-green coalition is made up of the DPP, which is larger and more moderate than the TSU. Therefore, rather than to coordinate the electoral strategies (what does the side-blue coalition) the presence of the TSU prevents the DPP from moving away from its roots for the indépendence of Taiwan. In the local elections, the competition tends to being hard between the candidates of the side-green coalition who do not practice the Désistement in favor of parties from the coalition.

The green Party of Taiwan (GPT) does not form part of the side-green Coalition.
