The Greens would definitely classify as a "minor" party here in the States. We have three members on the Minneapolis City Council (a liberal political bastion if ever there was one), and they are "active" but they don't meet the 5% statewide requirement to get state funding.

here, they're minor, but they have senators in the federal parliament, and members in houses around the country. they've become perhaps the strongest of the minor parties in recent times - certainly had the strongest growth in votes [unless you count the recently created "family first" party ... O_o]

the centrist-left 'democrats' were the power brokers for more than a decade, until they had some internal manpower changes and fucked their own golden goose ... now they're more than a little lost. it's hard to vote for them now, even thoguh they generally sit about my political views, because they're so dysfunctional. [they're called the democrats because everything in the party is decided by vote ... hence the dysfunction]
