History
The party was founded in November 1944 by Imre Csécsy, although it was not organised properly until the spring of 1945.[1] In the parliamentary elections that year it received just 0.1% of the vote, failing to win a seat.[2] The 1947 elections saw the party increase its vote share to 1.7%, winning six seats.
Prior to the 1949 elections it was forced to join the Communist-led Hungarian Independent People's Front. The Front ran a single list chosen by the Hungarian Working People's Party, with MRP members winning four seats.[2] Following the elections the party ceased to function, although was not officially dissolved.[2]
