Summary/Abstract: The European Parliament – similar to the Hungarian Parliament - is particularly polarized along the right-left political spectrum. The two main poles of the European politics are the EPP-ED, the European People’s Party and the PES, the Party of the European Socialists. The task of this study is to sketch out the ideological features of both party groups on the evidence of the political declarations to the elections of 1999 and 2004 and to analyse the political fighting and conflicts between them on the base of political occurrences our days. Whether the EPP-ED and the PES come into confllict with each other concerning all the political problems in Europe or there is a chance and opportunity for compromises and cooperations? To answer this question, several politological publications, statements to the press, articles and analyses will be treated. Beside the ideological characterisation of a political party is very important to treat the political realism, the occurrences of the world policy. Political parties will be featured of their political strategies and decisions. The electorate votes for a political party on the evidence of political outcomes and results. The aim of the European Parliament is the realisation of democratic principles on the base of the Maastricht Treaty. In the world policy and in the decision making process have to be reflected this programme.
