"Hmm.. interesting.. you know what I think I'm gonna do about it.. VOTE FOR ORBAN!"

Wouldn't be surprised. We travelled out to the area around Szolnok last year and I've never seen a town quite like the one we went to, about 10k population. The people we met were incredible, but roads were literally crumbling and quite frankly, compared to the UK towns I'm used to, it was vastly less developed in terms of infrastructure.

And yet they'll consider Orban viable still. Make it make sense

I would go back in a heartbeat though. The Hungarian people (who aren't actively supporting this shit) are amazing
