The Party of Independence resigned itself to the existence of the Dual Monarchy and sought to enhance Hungary's position within it; the Party of Forty-Eight, however, deplored the Compromise of 1867, argued that Hungary remained an Austrian colony, and pushed for formation of a Hungarian national bank and an independent customs zone.
Iseseisvuspartei alistus Kaksikmonarhia olemasolule ja püüdis parandada Ungari seisundit selles; kuid neljakümnekaheksa partei taunis 1867. aasta kompromissi, väites, et Ungari on jäänud Austria kolooniaks, ning õhutas Ungari keskpanga ja sõltumatu tollitsooni teket.
