Liberalism and radicalism in Hungary

This article gives an overview of liberalism and radicalism in Hungary. It is limited to liberal and radical parties with substantial support, mainly proved by having had a representation in parliament. The sign ⇒ denotes another party in that scheme. For inclusion in this scheme it isn't necessary so that parties labeled themselves as a liberal party.

From the start of liberalism in Hungary its program is combined with the strive for independence and for more autonomy inside Austria-Hungary. The two realists, Deákists and Kossuthists, differ in their attitude towards the Austrian rulers. Both groups had a conservative liberal or even conservative philosophy by the beginning of the 20th century.

In the antebellum period, liberalism was very successful and led by the party of Károlyi, but after the communist revolution of 1919, and during the conservative regency, liberalism became limited to small city-based parties. After the 1988 end of communist rule, liberalism reconstituted itself in the Alliance of Free Democrats (Szabad Demokraták Szövetsége, member LI), ELDR), a center market liberal party. Originally also the Young Democrats chose a liberal profile, but soon they developed into a national-conservative party.

and in 1924, it was renamed the Kossuth Party. It was disbanded by 1945.
