After serving in the Conservative back-benches for five years, Willis sought re-election as a "Progressive-Conservative", but was defeated in the 1935 federal election by George William Macdonald, running as a Liberal-Progressive candidate. Willis lost by only three votes, placing second out of four candidates, with 4,501 votes (42.5% of the total).
Willis later became leader of the Manitoba Conservative Party in 1936, and served until 1954, by which time it had taken the name, "Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba".

There have been various groups in Canada that have nominated candidates under the label Labour Party or Independent Labour Party, or other variations from the 1870s until the 1960s.

There was an attempt to create a national Canadian Labour Party in the late 1910s and in the 1920s, but these were only partly successful.
