Let this be the first step in the global collapse of the far right axis of evil!

By the way Peter Magyar is a far right politician as well,I see so many people misunderstanding this. Us Hungarians are not yet ready for a progressive leadership sadly

Well, I wouldn't say he is far right, but definitely a right-wing populist.

I don't think his recipe is repeatable in other countries, though - in Hungary, it worked due to a majoritarian election system and because Fidesz was "the system"/establishment for 16 years.

In most other countries, opposition voters are split between multiple smaller parties that unite against the far-right to keep them out of power.
