The Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party, or MKKP, is doggedly seeking to enter the upcoming parliamentary elections. It wants the constitutional court to overrule the refusal of the lower courts to recognize it as an official political party.
MKKP is campaigning with promises of eternal life and free beer for everyone. Hungary is mired in the election campaign season and parties are seeking activists. Not MKKP — it is looking for ‘passivists.’
While the governing Fidesz party is comfortably leading the opinion polls just five weeks ahead of the elections on the back of its cuts to household utility prices, the MKKP says it would raise them. When Hungary recently signed an agreement with Moscow about Russia expanding the country’s only nuclear plant while also providing a massive loan for Hungary, the MKKP said Hungary should adopt the Russian ruble–instead of the euro.
If the MKKP wins, Hungary will exit the European Union and then start negotiations with the bloc about the EU joining Hungary, the MKKP said, poking fun at Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s frequent clashes with Brussels over his often out-of-the-ordinary policies.
The aim of MKKP’s absurd election promises is to call voters’ attention to that the tail–in this case: politicians are wagging the dog–the voters.
