Summary/Abstract: Since our last issue the Fidesz government and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán have won a second landslide election giving them, even if narrowly, a twothirds majority in the Hungarian Parliament. Though it is unwise to take History’s name in vain, we think this election worthy of being called historic because it brings to an end the long post-Cold War period of Hungarian politics. In particular it marks the demise of the specific Hungarian Left that came into being when Gyula Horn persuaded the left-Liberals to join his Socialist majority in 1994.
