Randahl Fink

With 95 percent of votes counted, Orbán is history in Hungary.

Péter Magyar and his Tisza Party has won the Hungarian election 137 to 55, which gives Tisza a two-thirds majority — enough to make constitutional changes and reform the country.

Hungarians chose democracy over dictatorship.

Hungarians chose truth over lies.

Hungarians chose EU over Russia.

@randahl

It's back to 138 now. Which constituency is toggling back and forth suggesting it's a near tie there?

@syferdet I do not know the finer details, but it is more than two-thirds no matter what.

@randahl @syferdet
They do not have a majority in the ‘list’ and FIdesz with Mi Hanzank will block constitutional changes. Okay, maybe I’m mistaken here, Hungarian Parliament processes are complicated.

Please, someone, tell me I’m wrong here…

Orbán will still stay in power for another 30 days, and he has the two-thirds majority to change the constitution. He can even change this necessary majority to e. g. 7/8.

@randahl In the parliament there is no one from an ecological party, no one from a left party. I am glad Orban is gone, but they have quite a way to go back to democracy.

P.S. I am aware that the left and green voted for Magyar to achieve change. But they only had to do that due to the crooked election laws.

@masek @randahl I guess there's a risk in the next election that everything falls apart again when the left and the greens want their own share of the votes. But that's four years in the future.
