Those naive Hungarians

[fpb]

Imagine: the Hungarian public finds out that its ruling Prime Minister has "lied and lied and lied" to win the last elections. And what do they do? They get angry! Hungary, evidently, has not yet properly grasped the real point of democratic elections - that is, to bestow on a small group of self-selecting parties a chrism of approval. Here in Western Europe, where we have a longer habit with the thing, nobody would give such a statement a second look.

Good on them! Though it doesn't sound like the PM lied, exactly, just that he admitted his party lied.

Their naïveté is just soooo cute!
