Even if he lost with a close result, he could have blocked lots of change. Fortunately, his opponent has a 2/3 majority, so Orban can't do anything. 😃

And the loss is basically a wipeout. They are practically irrelevant in Parliament, and Tisza, unlike in Poland, can just boot out any of their appointees as they have a supermajority.

The massive turnout also made it impossible to pull anything funny. It's relatively easy to slip in a few thousands of fake votes when you control the electoral apparatus, but trying to skew such a lopsided election with such an high participation rate would create participation rates above 100% in some places.

I think you know who 🤞

Quick go visit Putin!

He fucked up the Iran deal.

Also Canada.

Hopefully he's still in office to come to Australia in mid 2028 and ensure us a Labor/Greens victory.

lol, no, not at all. only the MAGA die-hards like him, but not all that much.

No, everyone either actively hates or barely tolerates the couch fucking pope killer.

I think there are a few fringe movements that don't hate him, but he's literally where he is as a threat to anyone who would impeach Trump.

The polls for Orban went down after Vance's endorsement visit. That's how populair he is.

vance quickly ditched hungary for IRAN.

You just know that he had someone pick up McD

There's another EU member with a russian stooge in power, isn't there? I could be wrong but I think it was Slovakia that recently elected one.

Still great news that Orban is out.

That will truly be a major test. Man, I'm hoping for a legitimate win for once. This could be the biggest shift since Carney's victory in Canada. I've also sadly seen how gullible people can believe lies like, "America First" and "No New Wars," and take a pathological liar at their word. Leaving aside the longer-term games being played by billionaires.

Here's hoping for the best. I'm just honestly a bit shocked that he relinquished power this easily.

C’mon, guy is a lot of things but not a friend to Russia

Don't worry, he'll win.

Great pic. How's the hangover? :D

they = a country that produces vodka

Fecking meddling Finns!

Hopefully the new party will roll back those laws and make it more fair in future.

Other EU countries have a similar unfair system. They're quite easy to spot because they usually have 2 parties that get 90%+ of the seats.

Once that system is in place, the incentives of the party in power are to keep it, because they'd lose a supermajority if they win the next election cycle.

I honestly don't know how you could fix the system once it's so entrenched. I think it can only change if people become aware of how their shitty political situation (only 2 viable parties) is entirely created by this electoral system, and somehow demand a change.

What the fuck is that parasite doing in Albania? lol

Since it's a 2/3 blowout, all of those can be simply removed.

The biggest danger going forward is Tisza becoming corrupt by either not going through with removing them, or becoming like Fidesz was.

They state they won't.

Hopefully not. New party has 2/3rds majority, meaning they will clean house - new AG, new supreme court, election laws, etc. They can do what they want, which is a risk, but there is no other way to defeat Orban’s state capture

They will readjust like the spineless crooks they are.
