Now there is Jobbik which is of course an abomination and their popularity rather scary. The fact that Fidesz is attempting to steal some of their voters is not a suprise in so fierce and divided political landscape.

Anyway I was against the entire 'Tories ally themselves with far-right' nonsense because of its grotesque exaggeration (reading the Guardian was a torture those days), but Fidesz both crossed some lines and is in such a situation they really have little choice.
Not that it didn't happen also thanks to their actions, of course. They are literally consuming the fruits of their labour - disgusting, similar to certain brownish substance but something they have to do, apparently. Live and learn.


That doesn't change the fact that in my opinion the entire 'reformist' group is in my opinion a joke. Not my problem - let the Tories worry about they are siding with not really extremists (wierd and stupid - not extremists), but political losers.

Good work.
let me get this straight; when an EPP member adopts socially divisive populist policies to reduce the appeal of a more radical party it is sensible electoral positioning, but when the tories create a ant0-federal grouping of parties which include a few with populist tendancies then they are weird and stupid losers?

lol, that sounds like exactly the latent bias that Hannan was alluding too.

Good work.
