Yes it does. And the shame of it is, that this didn’t have to happen. Orban could have built a party with an enduring legacy. But he held on too long and didn’t know when to leave the stage and turn the party over to someone else. Like Netanyahu (and Thatcher, to a certain extent), it became about him and not the ideas. Now Hungary is going to get the same payback politics that Brazil has. Its not fair and its not right but it could have been avoided.

You seem to have an animus towards critics of the European Union. Opus?
