The Prime Minister Count István Tisza presented his proposal for amending the House Rules in a public letter to his constituents on October 8, 1904, with which he intended to reform the functioning of the parliament. According to the rules, a House Rules Review Committee should have been set up for this by the House of the Representatives, but the opposition did not agree to this. Instead, the amendment proposal was submitted by Gábor Dániel hu Daniel Gábor (politikus) on November 18, 1904, and after the Prime Minister's speech – at 9:30 in the evening – Speaker Dezső Perczel signaled for a vote with a handkerchief. The ruling party members stood up by the signal, thus accepting the proposal. The proposal (Lex Daniel) was adopted with multiple violations of the House Rules, and it is not even certain whether the Speaker put the question to a vote. The next day, Count Gyula Andrássy and his followers left the Liberal Party (Dissidents) and entered into a coalition with the opposition parties. The united opposition asked the king to annul the Lex Daniel and the government to resign. The opposition members smashed the furniture in the meeting room of the House of Representatives on December 13, 1904. The Prime Minister announced early parliamentary elections on December 16, which was also illegal because the parliament had not adopted the budget, thus creating an ex lex situation. One of the leaders of the Dissidents, Count Albert Apponyi, admitted that the opposition also bore responsibility for the situation. Prior the election the Ugron Party of Independence and '48 hu Függetlenségi és 48-as (Ugron) Párt merged into the Party of Independence and '48. The former prime minister Dezső Bánffy founded the New Party, and many members of the Liberal Party join to it.Kozári Monika A dualizmus kora / The age of dualism Magyarország története / The history of Hungary 16 Budapest Kossuth Kiadó 2009 978-963-09-5694-9 95-96 Parties and leaders PartyLeader Party of Independence and '48 (F48P) Ferenc Kossuth Liberal Party (SZP) Frigyes Podmaniczky de Frigyes Podmaniczky Catholic People's Party (KNP) Aladár Zichy Liberal Party dissidents (DIS) Gyula Andrássy New Party (ÚP) Dezső Bánffy Romanian National Party (PNR) Gheorghe Pop Reorganized Social Democratic Party of Hungary (MÚSZDP) Vilmos Mezőfi hu Mezőfi Vilmos Civic Democratic Party (PDP) Vilmos Vázsonyi Serb People's Radical Party (SNRS) Jaša Tomić Slovak National Party (SNS) Pavol Mudroň hu Mudrony Pál Electoral system The elections were based on property, income and education census.
