Basically, Orbán has a carefully crafted personality cult that has been constantly upgraded in the last 30 years, as such Orbán will always be more popular than his party is. However, Fidesz a party, as a brand is a lost cause. Even before Orbán’s loss there was a “good tzar, bad boyars” narrative around Fidesz, Orbán is good, it’s just that the party is full of old, corrupt perverts. Well, since their massive loss last month, Fidesz lost it’s last, and arguably only appeal, it was the most succesful post-communist party. As such, Fidesz now needs to “rebirth” itself and remake it’s torn image, but from the way they and Orbán act, it’s safe to assume that they are too stupid to make the necessary changes.
