Video: Can 'Chicken-Man' Win Election?

Below you can see an entertaining Euronews video about the English-speaking feather-wearing candidate running for MP in the upcoming Hungarian election.

József Tichy-Rács told Euronews exactly what inspired him to don a chicken suit and enter April's political race.

"We are the most serious party in the history of Hungarian politics," continued the chicken candidate...

The independent candidate's "Two-tailed Dog Party" also has candidates running dressed as a gorilla and Father Christmas.
