The Communist Party was banned during the 1945 election, and ran candidates under the name Labor-Progressive Party. I added it as the Communist Party because:

1) The Communist Party still operated, albeit illegally, and the Labor-Progressive name was used mostly just for elections

2) Tim Buck, as well as being leader of the Labor-Progressive Party, was leader of the Communist Party before and after the name change

3) Who's really going to guess Labor-Progressive?
