@fulelo considering that the new representation in Parliament is even more extreme than the voting percentages, I'm wondering if that was a backfire of all the gerrymandering Orbán did. (Gerrymandering requires making some district elections close, which can lead to losses in the event of a landslide.)

@fulelo The U.S. could use the 'Russian go home' chant, except a reasonably large sized portion of the U.S. population is still in denial about Russian influences and intentions in the U.S.

Pino Carafa 17h ago

@fulelo And I believe the Hungarian voting system is such that this will boost the number of seats for the winners significantly? Good for them 😁

Kriszta Satori 17h ago

@rozeboosje carefully gerrymandered by Fidesz before, indeed

@fulelo I read an article a while back explaining how gerrymandering can backfire but I can't find it now.
