How many seats did the Austrian legislative party first named the Communist Party of German-Austria gain in 1945?
Communist Party of Austria The Communist Party of Austria (German: "Kommunistische Partei Österreichs" , CPA or KPÖ) is a communist party in Austria. Established in 1918 as the Communist Party of German-Austria (KPDÖ), it is one of the world's oldest Communist parties. The KPÖ was banned between 1933 and 1945 under both the Austrofascist regime and the Nazi German control of Austria after the 1938 "Anschluss". It played an important role in the Austrian resistance against the Nazis.
Austrian People's Party The Austrian People's Party (German: "Österreichische Volkspartei" ; ÖVP) is a Christian democratic and conservative political party in Austria. A successor to the Christian Social Party of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it is similar to the CDU/CSU of Germany in terms of ideology, with both operating as catch-all parties of the centre-right. The Austrian People's Party was founded immediately following the reestablishment of the Republic of Austria in 1945, and since then has been one of the two largest Austrian political parties with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ). In federal governance, the ÖVP is currently the smaller partner in a coalition government with the SPÖ since 2007, with the ÖVP party leader as Vice-Chancellor of Austria.
