The era of mass parties is increasingly being replaced by media and professional electoral parties, which is also indicated by the fact that neither Fidesz nor the Tisza Party disclose their current membership numbers, and their political support goes far beyond formal party membership.
It is certainly not worth it for Tisza to engage in a war of numbers with Fidesz over their membership numbers, because the former has barely 30,000 members, while the latter may have as many as 30,000, although neither party is willing to reveal an exact, up-to-date number. It is true that this is becoming less and less important.
