History

change

The party alliance was formed under the leadership of the Hungarian Justice and Life Party (MIÉP) and Movement for a Better Hungary (Jobbik), with some members of the Independent Smallholders, Agrarian Workers, and Civic Party (FKGP) also joining. They chose this form of cooperation because a joint list would have required 10% of regional votes to enter parliament. In the election, they achieved 2.2% of the vote, failing to win any seats. Their slogan was "Occupation or Third Way." After the election, the alliance dissolved.

Program

change

Their main goals were to double the minimum wage, tighten immigration to Hungary, introduce a fairer tax system, keep Hungarian farmland in Hungarian hands, replace the entire current political elite, establish a Trianon memorial day, eliminate "Roma crime" in Hungary, foster Hungarian national pride, review pro-American foreign policy, drastically reduce the number of parliamentarians, and create a fairer electoral system.
