In America, professional sports work differently than in Europe. There, the goal is to balance the balance of power at the highest level, so that among the young talents, the weakest team in the league can choose first, and the winner last. This draft right, which can of course be given, bought and exchanged, is exciting fun in the offseason. Something similar may be going on in left-wing minds in connection with the Hungarian election. It's as if the final result of the parliamentary election was a test of strength, and it wasn't people who got into the Parliament, but power forwards, centers or controllers. And the parliamentary mandate is a note that can be transferred, given, bought and exchanged. It's kind of fun in the off-season until the new Parliament is up.
This is not just a simple confusion in the minds, but a shame, a mockery of democracy. The parliamentary mandate is not only a very valuable commodity, but also a huge responsibility. It is no coincidence that you cannot be a mayor or a member of parliament today, as it is obvious that the two offices require a different kind of work, the task requires a different person, and you cannot do it well at the same time. Gy. Erzsébet Németh presumably considers herself to be a universal leader, as she once hurries along party lines, then performs essential work at the head of the capital, and then as a result of the parliamentary elections – and thanks to the compromise of the parties – a mandate fell into her lap. And he chose it.
Péter Márki-Zay is also such a giddy type, as he campaigned as the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely without any problems at the national level, not at all bothered by the fact that the people of the town asked him to manage their settlement. When the great system-changing revolution was postponed, the captain found his Beaver field self, throwing the vacant mandate to the vultures.
Everyone, from Jobbik to Párbeszéd, immediately pounced on this. All the self-proclaimed messiahs of the opposition unity feel that the mandate actually belongs to their faction, since they have done such an amazing job that it should be honored with something. Of particular interest is the argument of Ákos Hadházy, who would give the parliamentary position to Bernadett Szél, simply because Betti is very good. The politician, who was parachuted from Szekszárd to Zugló, considers Szél's exit from parliament to be unfair and painful, as he considers him to be one of the most active, popular and credible opposition politicians. But he lost. Which essentially means that Bernadett Szél did not deserve the listed nice qualifications in the eyes of the country, he is just a tiny big man of a tiny circle. But this tiny circle considers itself huge and epoch-making, bigger than Hungary and even democracy, this putty group is a congregation of misunderstood geniuses, who are now demanding the mandate like offended children.
