137 seats as of 4:10 PM Eastern, with 81.49% counted: supermajority for Tisza, and Hungarians breaking the far right hold on their country.
(Supermajority: they can roll back the fascist changes to their constitution)
ETA: at 4:30 PM Eastern, holding at 138 seats, with 87.82% votes counted. Go, Hungary!
Via @emptywheel (on Bluesky):
"Magyar, closing his speech, now calling for accountability for those who turned on Hungarians. Refusing to be a country w/o consequences. Now Magyar addresses Orban's supporters, who are sad for his well-deserved defeat, promises to rule for all Hungarians."
I'm fucking sobbing.
It's the hope. 16 years of hell, and now Hungarians can celebrate hope. (And hold both previous and just-elected officials accountable)

There are lessons to learn here, for the rest of the world.
(starting with the fact that this didn't happen overnight)
#HungaryPolitics #HopeScrolling #USPolitics
One can only hope other people in other countries ::cough US cough:: learn the right lessons from all this.
Also, I highly recommend this thread by doc in Bluesky, which ends with, ""sometimes the way you heal as a nation is to cauterize the fucking wound"" (Dems should learn about Trust Thermocline IN A HURRY, 'sall I'm sayin')
