Национальная партия труда ( венгерский : Немзети Munkapárt ) была либеральная политическая партия в Венгрии между 1910 и концом Первой мировой войны . Партия была основана Иштваном Тисой после поражения Либеральной партии на выборах 1905 года. Партию возглавлял Ласло Лукач , который занимал пост премьер-министра с 1912 по 1913 год. Как и ее предшественница Либеральная партия, новая партия также оставалась крайне непопулярной среди этнических венгерских избирателей и могла рассчитывать только на поддержку избирателей из числа этнических меньшинств.

History
After the Liberal Party has lost the 1905 elections, István Tisza established the National Party of Work, hoping a new party would revitalise his former party; the Liberal Party had often been referred to as the "Imperialist Party", referencing support for the Austro-Hungarian Compromise and the political and economic interests of the Austrian half of the Empire, and the interests of the Habsburg Emperor. With the new name "National" Tisza wanted to emphasise that the party was focussed on the interests of the Hungarian part of the empire. The other word "Work" was inserted into the name of the new party because the chief point of its manifesto was to "declare war" on the unemployment via special programme for the private enterprises and companies.
The party won an absolute majority in the 1910 elections, and governed until the end of World War I,[2] with Tisza remaining in control of the party for the duration of its existence. In 1913, as a result of increasing internal tensions (especially the heavy-handed methods of Tisza), several former members of the National Constitution Party under the leadership of Gyula Andrássy Jr. seceded and reestablished their former party, going into opposition. However the National Party of Work retained its majority in Parliament. Owing to the supermajority held by the party in Parliament, Tisza was the de facto leader of the Hungarian political life between 1910 and 1918, even in the periods when he did not hold any posts in the government.
