Peace 'n' Prosperity Party
The Peace 'n' Prosperity Party (PnPP) was founded by Thingol on October, 6th 2010. As oldest party in New Zealand, it has remained one of the most active and involved parties. It experienced a membership surge in mid-2011, becoming the biggest political party in NZ, notably after the decline of its rival Aotearoa. It has led five NZ governments and has had Parliamentary representation since its creation.
Ujedinjenje ili smrt
The Ujedinjenje ili smrt (UIS) is a political party founded by leading members of the Serbian Kiwi Military unit, Srpski Korpus. It was formed as one of the successor parties to the defunct Aotearoa party. The party has historically supported members of the MU in Parliamentary and Presidential elections. It has close ties to the party Love and Peace and its predecessors. The party has led two NZ governments and been represented in various Cabinets and Parliament since its creation.
Love and Peace
Love and Peace (L&P) was created by Helen Moon in September, 2011. Moon was a veteran military figure in NZ and had been a prominent figure in the former Red label Party (RLP). As a successor party to Aotearoa, the RLP had played an influential role during its existence. However, it began to decline, becoming eclipsed by its sibling,Ujedinjenje ili smrt (UIS). It was during this time that Moon founded L&P. The party absorbed the old RLP membership and has led one NZ government. The party has performed well in recent Parliamentary elections and has created ties with both the PnPP and UIS.
Crocus Valley
Crocus Valley is a political party, serving as the political vehicle for the Serbian Military unit, Templari Srbije (TS). The party was set up as a base for the TS but managed to have former NZ President and Love and Peace (L&P) founder Helen Moon as their PP. It has supported the PnPP in the last two major elections and is seen as being aligned with them. The party recently won its first share of seats in the Parliament.
Ranginui
Ranginui is a left-wing party that serves as the political home for the Slovenia Military unit, the Angry Angels. The party has historically been a major force in NZ politics, consistently winning 7-8 seats in Parliament, serving in Cabinet and supporting winning CP's. However, thanks to the AA shifting back to Slovenia, its membership has declined swiftly. The party is now on the fringes of the top-five, being the smallest, and is capable of winning 1-2 seats at the best. It has ties with all three major parties (PnPP, L&P,UIS). Recently, it has become closer to the PnPP.
Red Squad
Red Squad is a communist political party in New Zealand. The party has traditionally adhered to a left-wing ideology and draws much of its membership from the Serbia and Slovenia communities. The party has typically supported the Presidential candidates of Love and Peace and Ujedinjenje ili smrt (UIS). Due to its small membership, it has limited Parliamentary success and is generally seen as being marginal in NZ's political scene.
