It mostly relies on the framework of Schreyögg and Sydow (2012) (earlier published in Sydow and Schreyögg 2011, and Sydow, Schreyögg and Koch 2009). First, I argue that the political market is different from the economic one, and parties offer different 'products': allocation rules, moral orders, world views, and emotional communities. Second, the applicability of selfreinforcing mechanisms are examined and additional mechanisms like socialization, agenda setting, negative identities and access to legislation are proposed. Third, a specific case, the twobloc system in Hungary, is discussed. My argument is that nine formative events led to a path, where several selfreinforcing mechanisms took place. I also show how the system had to face difficulties partly due to the efficiencies coming from the unavoidable rigidity.
