    I am sorry, but i cannot imagine Orban will let a win happen, this guy has been in power for what? 13 years? And he is supposed to give awaay his power and go to prison just like that? Sorry, but no. Also: two third majority is really unlikely with the voting system.

      The voting system prefers big parties, and with bullshit like “winner compensation” the winner of popular vote has a huge chance for supermajority automatically. On one of the previous elections Fidesz got supermajority with only 45% of popular vote. It’s hard to get a simple majority in this system, if you win you win big.

      Before this election the opposition was a lot of small parties, and the system worked for Orbán. Now there are only 2 parties, (and the actual nazis) the winner takes it all, and 4 years of economic stagnation angered a lot of people.

      The new parlament will have 3 parties according to polls, centre right Tisza around 60%, Fidesz (populist right) 30%, Our Homelend (far right) 5%. Sounds like fun

    I really hope that when Magyar wins, that the transition will be peaceful without any foreign interference. Was just imagining what would happen if Orbán goes Loekasjenko like in Belarus and calls for little green soldiers.

    I wish our Hungarian brothers all the best and stand strong.

    For those like me who don’t know: Tisza is a centrr-right pro European party that aims to reduce corruption, get the sweet EU money and to use it to improve the Hungarian economy by supporting small businesses. The party is headed by Péter Magyar, an MEP.
