Independent (politician)
An independent politician or non-affiliated politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party or bureaucratic association. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent. Some politicians have political views that do not align with the platforms of any political party and therefore they choose not to affiliate with them. Some independent politicians may be associated with a party, perhaps as former members of it or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level. In some cases, a politician may be a member of an unregistered party and therefore officially recognised as an independent. Officeholders may become independents after losing or repudiating a ...

The Liberal Party was a main supporter of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and the partnership with Austria.

The ethnic minorities had the key role in the maintenance of the compromise in Hungary because they were able to vote the pro-compromise Liberal Party to election victories. The pro-compromise liberal parties were the most popular among ...
