What exactly is far right?
It is claimed by some Gransnetters that Orban is far right. I asked what makes him far right as I don’t know much about him, apart from his refusal to take immigrants (how does he get away with that in the EU?) I’ve been told to read the foreign media to enlighten myself. Not much of an answer really. Or get Hungarian neighbours! Not sure how I can arrange that! 
Far right politics generally come about as a result of a general dissatisfaction, or malaise at the way things are progressing.
So - far right groups outside of the mainstream political landscape are characterised by being very conservative, nationalistic and authoritarian, but more than that they tend to gain support by identifying other groups as being the cause of much of the problems. This is where you get anti-semitism, islamaphobia and white supremacy, and an intolerance of groups considered to be outside of accepted cultural norms, as dictated by the right wing.
So Orban is the leader of a right wing populist nationalist party that is anti-immigration and anti- LGBTQ rights. He is authoritarian and anti-liberal, rejecting the so called elites. However, and weirdly, Orban in his anti-elite policy has taken on many large corporations, by taxing them, and introducing controls that a left wing government would do, so I think in a way the label “national socialism” does not over egg the pudding when describing Orbán. I don’t mean in a hard Nazi way but in a softer phenomenon.
