i actually watched a video on this just recently, apparently orban became really unpopular
Today we had parliamentary election.
Huge turnout, 79% the top was 70.5% in 2002.
The major opposition formation the Tisza Party won bigly. At 90% processed they have 138 seats which is well over the 133 that is needed for the 2/3 majority.
Fidesz lost a lot. They set up a system where the one who could bring in the Constituencies can won by a lot. This ensured their huge superiority in the parliament, not this turned against them.
The Mi Hazánk (right radicals) preserved their 5% position.
What will change? Hard to say there were lots of claims for pro and contra.
The program of the Tisza was that they keep everything "good" (or popular such as keeping out the migrants) the Fidesz did but they'll do better and what they did wrong they do it well. And closer integration with EU and NATO.
They said they want to dismantle the "Orbán-system".
Fidesz said that they will raise tax and everything will be expensive. And whatever.
What I expect is they'll go along with the building of surveillance state - following EU directions. I expect more censorship.
I don't expect it but I see a possibility where they fail, their govt. collapses and snap election coming - where Fidesz gets back to governing.
Fidesz won the previous 4 elections because lost of people didn't want to see the leftlib coming back. They voted on what they thought to be the lesser of two evils. They did see the Fidesz as an oligarchic corrupt gang of thieves but it was still preferable over the leftliberals.
But after the last election in the past four years all the liberal, green, and socialist parties vanished. They became so unpopular they aren't a blimp on the radar now. Instead to collect all those who had enough of the Fidesz - the previous liberal and socialist voters and those conservatives too who now turned their attention on getting rid of Fidesz - the Tisza Party rose. Well not entirely how it went, but good enough simplification.
And now there was the Tisza, a squeaky clean new party with new faces at the helm - benevolent shroud covering those who are working the ropes - and Fidesz became the greater evil.
Is it "really unpopular"? Their party list got almost 2,3 million votes, 38% of all the votes. Considering the masses were really moved (turnout 80%) it's a lot still. Yes more people wanted them gone than stay, so they are the less popular, but it feels a stretch to say "really unpopular".
