MIÉP–Jobbik Third Way Alliance of Parties

MIÉP–Jobbik Third Way Alliance of Parties

The MIÉP–Jobbik Third Way Alliance of Parties ("MIÉP–Jobbik a Harmadik Út pártszövetség") was a right-wing electoral alliance in Hungary led by István Csurka. In 2005, the Hungarian Justice and Life Party (MIÉP) joined forces with a newer, right-wing political party, namely the Movement for a Better Hungary and the agricultural Independent Smallholders Party. The new political formation was registered under the name the "Third Way" (Harmadik Út) and it harboured nationalist and populist goals, purported to speak for Christians, stood up for the rights of Hungarian minorities in the neighbouring countries and boasted a "law and order" agenda, in order to crack down on crime.

At the last legislative elections, April 9 and 23, 2006, the party won 2,2 % of the popular vote and no seats. The alliance broke up shortly thereafter.
