A radical Nationalist Party in Hungary. They got 16% of the vote in April 2010 and are growing in popularity. Do they pose a real threat?

god damnit. I would think europeans would get the message that too much nationalism is bad after it caused both world wars... Oh well. I'm sure they're just Hungary's version of the Tea Party in America, I think it'll eventually die out.

Hopfully you're right, but also as history has shown, in tough times people start to become more involved in extremist politics (hopefully they come to us), so for some they go to the far right. It's a shame when they do, but I agree they will die out. (Hopefully without leaving a lasting impression.)
