The Progressive Party is one of several Major Political Parties in the United Commonwealth of America. Formed in 1980, mainly by more left-wing Democrats and some members of the Social Democratic Party, it joined the "Lincoln Coalition" formed by the Democratic and Republican parties in February 1980. The Party is often credited with helping the coalition win the 1982 election, potentially helping sway support away from the more radical Socialist Front. Despite having more socialist internal factions, the party maintains an anti-communist ideology much like the former Social Democratic Party USA.
