The National Party of 1848, or the Party of 1848 (Far-Left until 1870) was a Hungarian political party, whose members were mainly Lajos Kossuth's former supporters and those who opposed the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. Its members were mostly middle-class citizens and peasants. For a long time it was a faction of the Resolution Party and then of the Left Centre under the name of Szélsőbal.[1]
The party participated the elections of 1861 and 1865 before becoming permanently independent in April 1868.
