Political parties in Hungary lists political parties in Hungary. The political landscape in Hungary is dominated by two major parties, which makes it difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party. Since no party can form a government without a coalition partner, the system can be considered a multi-party system.
