The broken-apart sides are grumpier than I expected.

While the liberals don't want new elections, they refuse to promise even outside support. (The confidence vote will be used more frequently, I guess.)

The Socialists for their part speak about their healthcare un-reform plan as if it is a done deal.

According to speculation by Index.hu based on prior break-up mind-games, the coalition break-up was prepared in advance -- by both sides, as a step strengthening both Gyurcsány and Kóka within their parties.
