Well, here’s one on the Jobbik-BNP relationship: http://www.jobbik.com/jobbik-announcements/3016.html

Note the pretty uniforms (supposedly modeled on peasant clothing if I remember correctly): http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6457752.ece

Jobbik banners, and BNP speaker at Jobbik rally: http://thecst.org.uk/blog/?p=231

And just for fun look at the eyes of the first guy in this photo (and note his pretty uniform again): http://thefastertimes.com/protofascistmovements/2009/07/12/brutes-in-budapest/

Now, remember those red and white Jobbik banners and uniform patches? Okay, now look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_Cross_Party

Now, remember, I am not saying they are fascists or Nazis, but they sure seem to either be deliberately copying their wardrobe and making friends with other people already labeled as fascists and Nazis or they’re really, really dumb about their choices. And yes, I realize that they are damned in the liberal press no matter what they do if they evoke and nationalistic non-politically correct (anti-Roma) causes, but still if it walks like a duck and wears the duck’s uniform too...

I’m just saying...

What you posted as evidence of "Nazi uniforms" does show the national dress of Hungary -- you can see those things in any folk dance festival. All European nations have their colorful national outfits that have been around for many hundreds of years. Jobbik says in the current socialist Hungary being proud of your national heritage and wearing the outfit is all but illegal. They want to resurrect national pride -- just like here in the US the socialists keep trying to tear down the US, instead of being proud to be Americans.

Hungarian national dress now illegal

First, the BNP is fascist. Anybody courting the BNP is out in my book. Everybody’s favorite Tory MEP says so and has pointed out how socialist they are.

Second, Hungary has a perfectly good center-right party, further right than western European parties like the Tories or Sarkozy’s or Merkel’s parties — Fidesz — but the problem is that it has been run by one guy, Victor Orban, for a long time. Still, they are looking at close to a 2/3rds majority based on the epic failure of the socialists.

It should be noted that “Roma” means gypsies for anybody who doesn’t know. I don’t know the particulars but gypsy culture would lead them to be prime targets for welfare dependency.

The worst thing about the Nazis, is that they forever tainted any notion of nationalism with Nazism, so that those who defend the legitimate need for a “Nation-State”, or evoke any sort of national pride are tarred as Nazis.
