=== 22 VE Election ===
The Conservative Progressive Party was formed in the Spring of 19VE as the Calaverian Conservative Party by a young Senn Hubert aged only 18, it was created to rival, the only party at the time, the Calaverian Democratic Party, headed by Marcus Aelius. The Party made it's debut at the the Election 22 VE Debate which earned them much support. In the election of 22 VE, The PCP won almost a 50% majority in their first Senate elections. They won 44% and 1 seat in the Senate.

Over the years (in-game years) the party as well as the CDP made it their goal to make the Republic stable in their first administration. Ratifying the new constitution as well as forming a national identity to rival that of the other bigger nations. As the years moved on, more political parties joined the scene with the Anarchist Party joining in 23 VE, The Democratic Socialist Party in 25 VE, and the Calaverian Republican Party in 27 VE. This created much competition with the PCP which at that point was the largest political party in Calaveria. In 27 VE, talks opened up between the PCP and their rival, the CDP to merge their two parties. These talks ended when the Conservative Party voted against merging as part of an internal referendum.
=== 30 VE Election ===
The party received a decline in support as the country was preparing for the 30 VE General Elections. The party had lost members and did poorly in the opinion polls. However, when the day came and elections continued the Conservative party gained the most support, achieving 55% of the senate vote (combined votes of the two senate seats of Miller Anderson 22% and Senn Hubert 33%). The conservative party won the courtroom judge elections, electing Kroyek as the first judge in Calaverian history. This earned the party the title of largest in the government holding three very important seats.
=== Second Administration & Death of Founder ===

The leadership of the party at the time was passed to his deputy, Miller Anderson. One year after Miller Anderson succeeded as leader of the PCP, Senn's nephew Dane Hubert contested leadership of the party and was unanimously elected Leader of the Calaverian Conservative Party.
=== Dean Hubert ===

The Convention was attended by many dignitaries including Marco Renzo, Chancellor Brusilov , as well as Hero Arwells, a reporter from Prime-Time Inc. Dane Hubert would resign as PCP leader after a dispute about merging with the FLP arouse in 60 VE. 
=== Conservative Revitalization ===
In 60 VE, a party dispute occurred after members of the CLCP namely Theodore Green and Grant Carver began talking with the leader of the FLP about merging. Dane Hubert was initially against it but eventually decided to step down from power later that year. He appointed Theodore Greene and Grant Caver as the new party leader and deputy leader.
Faith in the FLP was waning amongst the general public. The alternatives were the CLCP or the DSPC. Both received similar results in the forecast polls. An election debate was held in 60 VE running up to the 61 VE General Election. The debate was long and it was hard, in the end, 44% of viewers determined that the CLCP won the debate with 41% going to the DSPC, 15% to the CUP and 0% to the FPL. 
=== Rebranding ===
In the wake of the 61 VE General Election, a decision was made by party leader Theodore Greene to rename the party from the Calaverian Conservative Party to the Progressive Conservative Party as the party had in recent years adopted various progressive policies while still retaining its conservative virtues.
=== Fifth Administration ===
==== 61 VE General Election ====
The 61 VE General Election was one the most competitive elections to ever occur in Calaveria. The conservatives participated in the 61 VE General Election debate earlier that year, however the minds of Calaveria had already been made up. The vote was split three ways almost equally. Around a third went to each party with the reformists winning a very slim voter plurality of 35%. The conservatives and socialists tied with 32.5% of the vote. The conservatives would be given four seats, as well as the socialists with the reformists getting five. 
==== Position in Parliament ====
The conservatives were through proportionality given 4 seats along with the socialists, with the reformists earning 5. For the first time since 36 VE, the Conservative Party was again involved in government with Dane Hubert, Grant Carver, Marco Renzo Jr, and Horten. With neither party receiving 51% of the vote, coalitions would need to be formed in order to form a stable government.
=== Dissolution and Succession ===
In the fall of 71 VE, the party chairman Theodore Greene and the former chairman Dane Hubert had a brief discussion on the future of party in terms of it's branding. It was here where the decision was made to fully rebrand the party from conservative to progressive.
