  1. European Parliament results projected to the National Assembly

  2. Useless trying to point out excuses as long as 2.000.000 people vote for FIDESZ. When do we start taking responsibility instead of playing the victim? It’s not FIDESZ responsible for what’s happening, but the population who keep voting them in.

  3. If you don’t understand: This is the percentages of the EP elections projected onto the national parliament. Basically, if we had a parliamentary election yesterday, this is what the seats of the parliament would look like. Fidesz rigged the voting system and gerrymandered the whole country so much, that even with 10% less votes (52,52% to 44,61%), they would have the same amount of seats and a supermajority.

  5. a lot of people dont realize this. Especially Hungarians. Whenever they gerrymandered this system into place, the Parliament should have been in flames. But the circumstances at the time blinded the sheeple. It’s pathetic people just continue to accept this and go “oh no, 2/3rds again?!” and continue to eat shit for years

  6. This is horrendous. What system did Hungary use before Fidesz gerrymandered everything?

  8. Isn’t this basically the UK government system as well? First past the post or how is it called there?

  9. Important to note that this election system always favors or “boosts” the most popular party at a given time. If a party was to get more votes than Fidesz, they would also be overrepresented. This however can lead to the formation of a two party system which always hurts a democracy, that is the main problem with this system.

  10. There is one simple solution to fix these issues:

    JUST dont vote for them anylonger ! You can’t win ANY seats using ANY gerrymandering if you get 0 votes. (unless you implemented a solution where a division by 0 does not end up throwing an exception and insteads instantly grants “supermajority”.

    Until that time. Hungarians get what Hungarians deserve. its not like they are forced to live in Hungary and instead can’t work in ANY of the other EU-nations, if they (as a super minority) get fed up with the system.

  11. This is what will happen when you go down the road or increasing nationalist authoritarianism.

    More will follow and eventually these voters will be responsible for one government authoritarian nightmares.

  16. Fun fact: orange, red and green are all right wing. Only blue is left wing. That’s all the left got in Hungary.

  17. Just adding some context:

    This was shown on Fidesz run media, and Nézőpont Intézet is an infamously biased institution.
    Tisza is a 3 months old party with almost no representation at the local level – yet. And still, they managed to get almost 30% of the EP list votes. Many think that in two years, if they keep up their so far very impressive progress they stand a very good chance of beating Fidesz.

    So they have Orbán and his cronies intimidated, hence the above picture and study to reinforce their dejected followers.

  18. Peoples opinion in April 2022 = peoples opinions in june 2024 with a 10% decrease in turnout

  19. What did he do that good that people keep voting for him?
