The left's insistence that international politics can be run like a university speech code is ludicrous.
Here are the most important results of the election: Viktor Orbán and Fidesz-KDNP won for the fourth time with two thirds, the opposition coalition did much worse than predicted by all polls. They were able to win single-member constituencies almost exclusively in Budapest, and Mi Hazánk got into Parliament. Fidesz won 88 constituencies out of 106.
Not one pollster was able to foresee Fidesz-KDNP's two-thirds victory, not to mention far-right Mi Hazánk's huge success. Medián was the most accurate.
A preferential seat was allocated in the Hungarian Parliament to the German minority, represented by Imre Ritter, who received some 21,558 votes.
Today, Hungarian citizens can delegate 106 people to parliament as individual candidates and 93 through national party lists.
