 Progressive Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The party, which in reality consisted of little more than Roosevelt's presidential campaign, soon folded and Roosevelt returned to the Republican Party after the Republicans nominated the more progressively-minded Charles Evans Hughes for president in 1916.
Retorting that he was "fit as a bull moose" (giving the party a nickname), Roosevelt ran on the Progressive Party ticket in the 1912 Presidential election, with California Governor Hiram Johnson as his vice-presidential running mate.
The Progressive party also had members of the House and Senate from Wisconsin during the 1930s and 40s.

 Progressive Conservative Party of Canada
Even though the Quebec Conservative Party dominated politics in that province for the first thirty years of Confederation at both the federal and provincial levels, in the 20th century the party was never able to be a force in provincial politics, and ultimately dissolved into the Union Nationale in 1935.
Following Mulroney's resignation, his successor as Tory leader and as prime minister, Kim Campbell, led the party into the disastrous election of 1993.
In the Senate, William Doody, Lowell Murray and Norman Atkins remain as the sole Progressive Conservative senators.

The conflict gradually became more and more severe until Anderton eventually demanded the resignation of the party's governing council.
However, because of electoral law, Anderton did not officially leave the Alliance's parliamentary wing, even if he had left the party itself - doing so would have required his resignation from parliament, a step he was unwilling to take.
It currently has two seats in parliament, one belonging to leader Jim Anderton and the other to Matt Robson.

 Progressive party. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
The success of the Conference for Progressive Political Action, sponsored by the railroad brotherhoods, in the congressional elections of 1922 led to the nomination at Cleveland in 1924 of another Progressive party ticket, with La Follette for President and Burton K. Wheeler for Vice President.
The regular Republicans, however, controlled the national convention at Chicago (June) and renominated Taft, whereupon the Roosevelt supporters organized the new Progressive party (the Bull Moose party) and nominated, also at Chicago (August), Roosevelt for President and Hiram W. Johnson for Vice President.
Senator Robert M. La Follette was their choice for the Republican presidential nomination in 1912 until former President Theodore Roosevelt, at odds with his old friend Taft for various personal and political reasons, threw his “hat into the ring” (Feb. 24, 1912).

 Teddy Roosevelt, Progressive Party, 1912
A final indication of Roosevelt's appeal and influence is that most of his agenda became law, in several cases through a strenuous constitutional amendment process.
LaFollette's Progressive League switched its endorsement to T.R. Republican party leaders had different plans, though, and supported Taft's nomination at the June, 1912 party convention in Chicago.
The league supported LaFollette for the Republican presidential nomination until, in February 1912, Roosevelt, who was frustrated with Taft and unenthusiastic about LaFollette, announced that he would seek the Republican nomination.

Our current work and long-term strategy is to change states' election rules to allow fusion voting - a method of voting that allows minor parties to have their own ballot line with which they can either endorse their own candidates or endorse the candidates of other parties.
