The Hungarian Social Democratic Party (Hungarian: Magyarorszagi Szociáldemokrata Párt, MSZDP) is a political party in Hungary. Both the MSZDP and Social Democratic Party (SZDP) lay claim to the same heritage: the Social Democratic Party which was part of a governing coalition in Hungary between 1945 and 1948, and a short period in 1956, which itself was renamed from the Hungarian Social Democratic Party, previously established in December 1890. Traditional areas of support have been the industrial areas of Budapest, especially Obuda, Pesterzsébet and Angyalföld.

To believe in their virtue is a kind of social religion; because they are the world’s ornament and the glory of France.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.”
