National Labor Party (Hungary)
National Labor Party (Hungarian: Nemzeti Munkapárt) - a Hungarian political party operating in the years 1910-1918, throughout its existence constituting the ruling power of the country. History
In 1905, lost elections broke the thirty-year period of rule in the Hungarian Liberal Party. Its leader, István Tisza, decided to establish a new party before the next elections in 1910, grouping above all former activists of the Liberal Party. It was created on 19 February 1910 and was given the name of the National Labor Party. The new name was supposed to testify to the change of pressure in the party's program - in ideology, was now made more to responsibility and hard work than to civil rights. In the face of social changes, the necessity of the decisive influence of the elites on the country's policy was also emphasized, and the universal electoral law and the extension of the rights of national minorities were opposed.
The election of the 1910 new group won thanks to the use of the army to intimidate the voters - it won 62% of seats in the parliament. The party remained in power for another 8 years, throughout the entire period of World War I, until the fall of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Hungarian Revolution in 1918.
