Gypsies yes -- Arabs and Asians, not so much.

Compare Hungary to the nearby Czech Republic, which has a large Vietnamese community that no one seems to mind, and which also has a virtually nonexistent "nationalist" far right. At the most recent election in 2013, it received a whopping 0.86% of the vote -- LESS than in the previous election.

Jobbik -- like the other European far-right "nationalist" parties (and the UK Independence Party is definitely one of those) -- is just using immigrants and other "foreigners" (Jews, Gypsies, etc.) as scapegoats, as similar European demagogues have been doing since time immemorial.

Eh. More power to them. Hungary is for Hungarians. No one else. Whether they have legit complaints or not,and I think they do its their country and OBVIOUSLY Hungarians agree with them or they wouldn't be gaining in power.

You missed my point. Hungary already has almost no foreigners living in it -- mainly because its economy is so abysmal.

"Let them eat cake".

And with good reason, they came very close to losing control of their own country a few years ago.

Riots were breaking out all over France by Muslim youths, this went on for weeks and was hard to get under control, changes needed to be made to reel it in.

It was a wake up call for the French.

The French have the right idea, you want to live here fine, but you don't take over and make France a Muslim nation.

I wonder if their "NO religious food restrictions" includes meat on Friday ... A wild guess would be NO, of course not.
