The effort to achieve a more party-orientated set of House Rules in Hungary’s newly democratized National Assembly provides evidence about the behavior and development of political parties in a transitional setting. Using data drawn from in-depth interviews, records of MP activities and minutes of plenary discussions, this paper chiefly finds that the distribution of mandates in Hungary’s hybrid electoral system determined the relative cohesiveness of the emerging parties and that, as the system has settled down, new information on the electoral value of party cohesion has caused parties to adapt their behavior and rule preferences.
