Crocus Valley (2011- ) is a centrist political party currently active in New Zealand. It is the newest party in NZ and has witnessed a surge in growth. The party recently won 4 seats in the December parliamentary elections.

History

The birth of Crocus Valley (CV) is strongly tied with the Serbian military unit Templari Srbije (TS) which had begun to migrate its members to NZ in October following a series of internal conflicts within Serbia.

An early wave of members like Hit & Vanish, Aty87, CKIMIY and MjoyReborn all joined established parties like the Peace 'n' Prosperity Party (PnPP), Love and Peace (L&P) and Red Squad (RS). These members found early success with at least 2 members elected to Parliament under the PnPP in the months of September and October. They took an active role within these parties their steady growth began to catch the eye of party leaders.

They reached a highpoint in November, when four were elected to Parliament (2 with the PnPP, 1 with L&P and 1 with RS). These advances were major gains for the TS, who used the subsequent citizen passes to gain entry for their colleges.

This eventually led the NZ government to place a watch on the TS militia. Following these actions, the leading figures decided to leave their respective parties and joined the remnants of the Speight's Supporters Party.

Helen Moon and Stability

After joining the new party, the former TS members quickly set about creating a home for their supporters. However, this drew the ire of the leading Serbian Kiwi parties, L&P and Ujedinjenje ili smrt (UIS). Both of which saw the new party as a potential PTO threat.

In order to win over support, the party convinced then NZ Prime Minister and L&P founder, Helen Moon, to join them and become party president. She accepted and duly named the new party CV. It quickly grew as many TS members shifted to the CV, helping it to become the #4 party in only days, overtaking both Ranginui and Red Squad.

Only days into its existence the party sought to cement ties with the PnPP by endorsing their candidate Mortalbeta in the December Presidential election. Although she lost, the party delivered some crucial votes. They did not receive any Cabinet posts but worked out an electoral agreement with the PnPP for the December parliamentary term (after Helen was re-elected PP on December 15).

In the December 25 vote, the party benefited from its active and dedicated membership by electing 4 members to Congress (although CC later returned to the PnPP). This was a strong showing for the new party. In January, it endorsed PnPP candidate Xanthar Zaiban for President.
