Re: Another misperception (4.00 / 2)
Not at all off-topic. Fully relevant.

In Greece we had one Tea Party (the far-right LAOS) until last month. Now we have two (the more mainstream conservative New Democracy). They both stand around the slogan "Down with taxes" which unites the tax-evading classes: small business, professionals, corporations.
Hungary is the EPP Plan for Greece. It is already working and I think is rather unstoppable. The Socialists fell in this deadly trap.
