Sažetak
Based on the archival sources kept in the State Archive of Croatia and the Archive of Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, as well as contemporary periodicals, the article discusses victory of People's and Liberal Party on the elections for Croatian Parliament 1871. The candidates of the Party in all electoral borrows have been identified and pre-electoral campaign analysed in order to answer question how the opposition won the election, after the defeat it suffered on the previous election held 1867. Conducted research demonstrated that the opposition won because the elections were conducted with significantly lesser pressure and violence than it was on the previous election, because of the agile agency of the Party members and sympathiser prior to the elections, but also because of the dismay within the ranks of the Unionist Party. Victory did not bring the People's Party to power, but caused dissolving of the Parliament. The article connects this fact with the acceptance of validity of Hungaro-Croatian Settlement by a part of the Party members and their orientation towards more active participation in the policy, and that not only as an oppositional party.
