| Description | The article traces the impacts of the Hungarian electoral system (valid till 2011) on the party system. The author analyses primarily the nationalistic conflict line with its negative impact on the party system. In this context, the author argues that the presence of nationalism in the party system is the basis for a potential disagreement in governance. Consequently, Hungarian nationalism occasionally produces anti-system parties that are immune against the majority impacts of the electoral system. In addition, the article will analyse the new electoral system, which is valid from 2012 and will trace the possible different impacts on the party system after the next elections. In this context, the article tries to answer the question concerning the future stability of coalition governance in Hungary based on the combination of the nationalistic conflict line and the new electoral system. |
