  Values Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Values Party, sometimes considered the world's first national-level environmentalist party, was established in 1972 at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, one of its initial leaders being Tony Brunt.
The party appealed especially to those elements of the New Left who felt alienated both by the small Marxist-Leninist parties of the day, as well as by the bread-and-butter centre-left politics of the New Zealand Labour Party.
The Values Party contested three elections (1972, 1975 and 1978) but did not gain seats under the first past the post electoral system in use at that time.

 Worldwide green parties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Parties are part of, but do not exclusively represent, a larger political movement to reform human governance to better fit the constraints of the biosphere — usually called the Green movement to contrast it from the electoral participation of the legally-registered Parties.
Many people also confuse Green Parties with Greenpeace, a global NGO prominent in the ecology movement, which like the Green political movement was founded in the 1970s, and shares some green goals and values, but works with different methods and is not organized as a political party.
Green Parties are often formed in a given jurisdiction by a coalition of scientific ecologists, community environmentalists, and local (or national) leftist groups or groups concerned with peace or citizens rights.

 Greens in Time and Space: The History of The Green Party
Values was also torn by internal strife about its political orientation - it was difficult having to invent Green politics before the term 'Green' was even coined (by the German Greens when they contested their first national level election in 1980).
In May 1990 the current Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand was formed from a merger of Values and the new Green groups, and contested the 1990 general election six months later, winning 7% of the total vote although it was not able to stand candidates in all electorates.

 About the Green Party » Cobb-LaMarche 2004 - Ballot Recount
The Green Party is composed of grassroots activists, environmentalists, advocates for social justice, nonviolent resisters, and regular citizens who've had enough of corporate-dominated politics.
What the two corporate-dominated political parties don't want you to remember is that, over the centuries, American third parties have been at the forefront of many progressive changes we now consider essential, including the 8-hour day, voting rights for women, and the abolition of slavery.
In fact, the Republican Party was itself a third party movement 150 years ago, when Abraham Lincoln and other anti-slavery activists left the dying Whig Party.

 Get back to core values, party urged - National - smh.com.au
Troy Whitford says that in the absence of an effective opposition, it is up to the Nationals to use their power in the Senate to "civilise" the free-market policies of the Liberals and provide the 21st-century version of what the Labor leader Ben Chifley called "the light on the hill".
The Page Research Centre is named after Sir Earle Page (1880-1962), the Grafton-based federal MP who turned the then Country Party into a political force by pushing protection for rural communities and grand government schemes to promote development in the bush.
Dr Whitford says the party's stance on Telstra, championed by Senator Barnaby Joyce, was "a perfect example of how the Nationals are civilising the Liberals' privatisation agenda".

 Power Line: The party of values
The founders of the United States never spoke of "values"; the concept was foreign to their political discourse.
It is but a short distance from the orthodoxy of "values" to the related dogmas of "multiculturalism" and "diversity" that permeate liberal thought.
In this sense the Democratic Party is the party of "values."
