Although Fidesz continues to lead in public opinion polls, an increasing number of Hungarians want a change in government, according to a poll conducted in July by pollster ZRI Závech Research Institute.
Currently, 27 percent of the population supports Fidesz, up from 24 percent last month. Support for the Hungarian Socialist Party (Magyar Szocialista Párt – MSZP) fell one percent from 12 percent in June to 11 percent in July.
Jobbik, on the other hand, seems to have lost many of its supporters. Hungary’s radical right-wing party, which is repositioning itself as a mainstream people’s party, continues to lose support: now only 11 percent of Hungarians would vote for them, while in May 14 percent of respondents said they would.
According to the ZRI Institute, the only clear tendency is that support for Jobbik is waning. The party has mostly lost popularity among young people and small-town residents, an interesting phenomenon since these groups form an important part of the party’s base.
The poll suggests that while Fidesz is still the strongest party in Hungary, there are more Hungarians (43 percent) who want a change in government than those who would prefer Fidesz to stay in power (32 percent). The problem is that most voters do not prefer any of the parties on offer, which makes it hard to change government, added the research institute.
A year ago today (or yesterday, depending on when this actually gets posted) I published my first post, The Mission Statement. It’s both hard and easy to believe it’s been a full year, as cliche as it sounds. I’ve made great strides on the road to fiscal responsibility, focused my academic career, and had some fun. Along the way I’ve been surprised that while it has been challenging, I’ve rarely felt deprived; instead I feel in control and ready to take on the world. I’ve also been touched by how willing my friends are to make cheaper plans and how generous they can be. Fortunately, I’ve also had plenty of opportunities to share as well, giving of what I have, which makes me feel richer.
Clearly you guys like my craft and canning posts. Seems I’ll have to record more of my efforts to do it myself. Seriously, though. Y’all apparently really love that scarf hanger, 5 of the top 10 search terms that lead to my blog are related to DIY scarf hanger. Also quite a few of you have issues with rash from homemade deodorant, because that shows up 4 times in the top 20.
So I am the Social Chair of grad student club for my department. One of my “duties” is to organize our holiday party. The last two years, I arranged a nice get together with appetizers, cookies, wine, etc and both years the same three people were the only ones to come.
This year I decided not to stress about this party: I’ve got several deadlines to wrestle with and no money in the student account. I do, however, have a Groupon that’s about to expire for an old school sports bar & grill right by campus. So, this year I invited everybody to meet me there and I’ll buy a round of nachos and cheese fries as well as a pitcher of PBR.
Y’all, I have had so many people reply yes. Apparently dive bars are the key to my classmates’ hearts. Who knew?
I hope that everybody had a great weekend. After my crazy weekend my house is decorated, the family fruitcake is soaking in brandy and my dog is happily prancing around the house in his beloved jingle bell collar. I picked it up for $1 a few years ago, thinking it would amuse me for a few minutes before taking it off. However, the little bugger freaking loves it and when I take it off him, he stands under the shelf and whimpers until I put it back on him or distract him with a walk or toy. Anyways, enough mocking my poor pup and on with my weekly update!
Spending: Ugh. I went to Costco and stocked up on baking supplies, then got sucked into a fundraiser for my chorus group and bought nuts and See’s chocolates. I solemnly swear that I won’t buy any chocolate, cheese, butter or nuts until I use up everything I currently have in my pantry, including all 7 (!) pounds of chocolate.
Saving: I’m counting the following as savings. When I went to my dinner party this weekend, I brought a homemade baguette and some cheese from my stash instead of picking up some prefab appetizers. When I invited a friend over to help me decorate, I made a giant crockpot of soup so it would be ready when we got back, rather than picking up takeout. While shopping this weekend, I opted against spending a giftcard I already had since I didn’t really need anything from that store.
This week I took a few breaks from writing to prepare giving a seminar this week. I’m really excited about the content of what we’ve accomplished so far, but nervous about getting it right in front of a group of people who probably understand what I’m talking about better than I do.
I walked, walked, walked, ate lots of vegetables, drank a lot of water, said no to seconds and tried not to inhale the entire dessert table on my own. That’s got to count for something, right? My thighs certainly hope so.
Suppers: pumpkin stew with dumplings (recipe tomorrow!) stewed lima beans with sweet potatoes & greens
I woke up this morning with absolutely no idea where I would ride. Once my bike was prepared for the day, I opened my Maps.me app and searched for a place I should aim for. My finger wandering led me to Lopburi, which I could reach with a fairly easy day’s ride along a minor road that followed the course of the Lopburi River. I could even head out of Ayutthaya via the Queen Suriyothai Monument, where an impressive sculpture of a war elephant being ridden by warriors can be found. I followed my planned route and arrived in Lopburi in the early afternoon. I spent the next couple of hours exploring both the old and new parts of town. As an old capital of Siam, Lopburi is home to quite a few old temples, which in turn are home to mischievous monkeys. Eventually, I found myself a place to spend the night and on cleaning myself up, I passed the late afternoon by dozing on the verandah of my chosen guesthouse and watching the street slowly fill with market stalls, all the while sipping on a delicious banana/pineapple/honey smoothie. When I couldn’t resist the smells any longer, I wandered through the stalls and from three took away a considerable feast to enjoy at home on the balcony outside my room.
Queen Suriyothai wasn’t to be messed with. I have never heard of half these places so thank you for sharing. Louise
No worries! That’s the great thing about a bike…it takes you through all the places between the main destinations.
I let the morning pass slowly as I washed my dirty laundry and did some research into Central Asia. In the afternoon I left my guesthouse to find the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama, but not before spying the attractive sign of a Subway restaurant. I’ve got consistent diarrhoea at the moment so I am happy to spend my last Indian rupees on Western-style food to make myself feel a little better. The panorama was nice. Like many of India’s minor tourist attractions, the entry fee was dirt cheap (10r, AU$0.20) so it wouldn’t matter if the place was uninteresting. But I have grown to like diorama displays and I liked the ones here, as well as the grand paintings that adorn the walls of the buildings ground floor. The dioramas and paintings depict the major events in the life of ‘The Lion of Punjab’, who in the 1800s united warring confederacies in the Punjab region to create the Sikh Empire. It is this guy who had the Golden Temple built, which I visited yesterday. According to local accounts, the Maharaja was a kind and just man who was sensitive to the plight of those he conquered and controlled. His enemies would say he was a bloodthirsty plunderer. Whatever the case, he is a pretty impressive guy. Even as a teenager he had major successes in leading his charges on the battlefield. Also impressive is the fact that he is reported to have had 46 wives and mistresses.
My Central Asia research has encouraged me to consider attempting to cross the Kulma Pass between China and Tajikistan. Apparently only about ten foreigners (non-Tajikistanis and non-Chinese) have ever managed to cross it, as the border officials on each side generally refuse to let foreigners through. As well as being a fun adventure, crossing it would mean not having to ride all the way north into Kyrgyzstan before coming back southwest. My plan to get across is to ask the Australian Embassy in Beijing to get the Chinese Ministry for Foreign Affairs to contact the border control office on the Chinese side of the border and tell them to let me through. Attempting to cross won’t be too much of a hassle, as it won’t involve any kind of detour (the Chinese border post lies right near the Karakoram Highway, so I will be passing it anyway). Also, if I get the Tajikistan e-visa just before I attempt to cross, but my crossing attempt fails, then the e-visa would still be valid by the time I make it onto Tajikistan the long way. The thing to keep in mind is that I will need to have enough cash on me to last 2-3 months on the bike (due to the absence of ATMs through much of Central Asia). My original plan was to sort out the cash I need in Kyrgyzstan, but if I attempt the Kulma Pass then I will need to have it sorted beforehand. I would hope that if I can manage to convince China to let me out, then Tajikistan will have to let me in.
