Hungarian Politics

Aka., something I wish I knew more about. The only stuff I do know is about the people I don't want to win. The very far right jobbik party to be specific. For the past couple of weeks they've had a booth over at ors/the metro. Watching Hungarian election news; honestly can't tell who is winning/gaining majority so I'll just focus on the right wing Roma hating crazies. At their booths they have these mosquito signs. Basically alluding to anti-Roma sentiment. They're also kind of supporters of the hungarian guard a group perhaps even more extreme. Ah, just talked to a Hungarian girl, looks like less than encouraging news. I suspect from this that the predictions were right and the rightists (the extreme or less extreme with a coalition government I do not know...) had success in the elections. She basically said she doesn't want to live in a country like this. Reminds me of how I felt when Bush won... Well if I manage to find an English language article, probably from pestiside.hu I'll post a link. Maybe I'll read up more on the other parties tomorrow. I'm pretty sure the rightist party is going to join up with the far-right party... Showing jobbik party at 18% ouch. Sorry about any typos - using my iPod touch to post while watching election results!
