Tisza lead widens as close to quarter of votes counted

Of course, the numbers got updated just as I was typing the last post. Of course.

We are now at 21.54%, so getting close to a quarter of all votes, and Tisza is currently projected to get 128 seats – just short of the 133 needed for the 2/3 majority – to Fidesz’s 62 and Mi Hazank’s 8.

Hopefully Tisza gets majority if for no other reason than to fix Orban’s fucked up electoral math.

Would they? Didn’t they splinter from the same party? They seem better, but what gives you faith they would reduce their power like that?

Genuinely just wishing that Orban will win, these Soros open society guys will ruin the country along side with EU

Fascists don’t feel embarrassment

At least not above the baseline self-hatred that makes them fascist to begin with

It literally means nations… It’s not a derogatory term for non-jewish people.

Oh my God. I completely forgot, and I really need to apologize. I forgot that arguing with bigoted shitstains is completely fucking useless and one of the best wastes of time ever discovered by man. I sincerely apologize for wasting my time and yours with a back and forth that ultimately will end in nothing achieved and fucking absolutely everything lost. I leave you with one final passing remark, climb back into the cesspit you came from, and sincerely and genuinely, fuck off.

Orbán has been funded by Soros if that matters.

at 45% polling stations (?) in, Tisza has 135 seats, which is more than supermajority, and results from bigger cities where opposition has greater support still are not yet counted. if mi hazank drops under 5% threshold, their lead will be greater. lowkey expecting that orban is looking for plane tickets to moscow rn

update: at 72% stations in, Tisza has 138 seats

cyrano@piefed.social on 12 Apr 19:18 next collapse

46% counted and Magyar/Tisza are forecast to have 135 seats out of 199, which gives them a super majority

I hope this means they’re able to reverse a bunch of the press consolidation and constitutional changes that kept Orbán in power for so long, and change the constitution so that no party in power can so easily do what Fidesz did.

Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 19:19 next collapse

136 (over the 135, 2/3 threshold) projected with 53% now!

fullsquare@awful.systems on 12 Apr 19:29 collapse

there are 199 seats and so 2/3 supermajority is 133 seats. tisza has 136 now at 60%ish polling stations counted

cyrano@piefed.social on 12 Apr 19:25 next collapse

Opposition leader Péter Magyar says he’s had a call from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in which he conceded. 

His man rival Péter Magyar wrote on Facebook: “Viktor Orbán just called me on the phone and congraulated us on our victory.”

It would mean an end to 16 years of Orbán rule.
