Magyar Péter's party (Tisza) won with a historic landslide.
I am overjoyed that Orbán and his gang are out.

But at the same time I'm waiting.

Waiting to see the book bans lifted.
For trans rights to be reinstated.
For the child protection system to be fixed.
For queer people to be allowed to adopt again.
For the child traffic rings to be prosecuted.

We handed a center-right party absolute majority.

I really, really hope they will do better.

@TarkabarkaHolgy This moment echoes way too much of Fidesz's landslide victory in 2010. A historical chance. How will it be used?

@szakib Right?? I feel like such a jaded Elder Millennial for not cheering yet.
Mostly because I am also sleep deprived

@TarkabarkaHolgy @szakib I really hope they fix the fucked up election system and implement proportional representation for good. I hope that they know that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and be restrained with it after having reinstated rule of law and democratic institutions. I hope that they will slide leftwards as the extreme right is already served by more than enough parties. I hope they stay true to their promises. slightly optimistic!
