      You’d hope so, but Fidesz wins elections by huge vote share margins, the parliament is heavily gerrymandered, they control the media and the judiciary, etc - Orban has made Hungary effectively a one-party state over the last 14 years.

      I think it would take something big to dislodge them.

    Our Homeland leader Laszlo Toroczkai made the remarks at a conference where the party, which has six lawmakers in the 199-strong Hungarian parliament, hosted far-right leaders from Germany’s AfD and the Dutch Forum for Democracy, among others.

    AfD are really going for the grand slam of Nazi conference attendances.
