The Magyar

Polgári Párt

failed to overstep

the threshold of 5%, necessary to get in the

Parliament. However, the MPP was the only

Hungarian political grouping to enlarge its

voting basis (approximately two times in

comparison to the last elections), moreover,

it was the only liberal democratic party in

Slovakia to reach a significant result among

its potential voters.

The election campaign of the MPP can be

evaluated as saUffying from the

conceptional, organisational and timing

viewpoint. (...)

Nevertheless, the success was impeded by

the following factors:

1)

Late assuring of the financial

background for the campaign

2)

Unexperienced

organisátory

work

3)

Serious shortages in the party

organisational structure, unsatisfying local

and regional network (...)

The MPP gained some 25% of the

Hungarian minority votes, the coalition of

the other Hungarian parties won some

70% and the remainder fell to other

Slovakian parties. As a general lesson, it

could be stated, that we reached good

results at those places, where we have-

an active local organisation-

an active local organizer-

a respected local candidate-

the Mayor-

an active group of deputies in the Local

Council (...)

As a whole, it can be said that the

Hungarian minority voters elected following

different principles as the Slovakian voters

in general. We should take this fact very

seriously into consideration in our future

policy.

The most important things to do in the

future are:

1)

Improving of the local organisation

network rapidly

2)

Winning over a considerable number of

people of high standing to cooperate with

us

3)

Strengthening of our local government

policy radically

4)

Forming of a group of trained,

committed local organizers

5)

In all our activities be aware of theat

without strong local policy no national

policy can be effective.
