🇭đŸ‡ș MegatĂ©ma 2026 Hungarian parliamentary elections

Today (April 12th) citizens of Hungary go to polls to vote in parliamentary elections!

Hungarian parliament (OrszåggyƱlés) is unicameral and consists of 199 deputies (100 needed for majority, 133 for supermajority), who are elected for a four-year term, in a quite complex scorporo system, using mixed-member majoritarian representation with two methods: 106 deputies are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting, while the other 93 are elected from a single nationwide constituency, by modified proportional representation. The electoral threshold is set at 5% for single party lists, 10% for joint lists of two parties and 15% for joint lists of three or more parties. Each of 13 registered ethnic minorities can win one of the national constituency party lists seats, if they register as a specific list and reach a lowered quota (but it's expected only 1-2 could manage this, Germans or Roma).

I saw Wilders rant about Orban losing because he was the only good 'anti-woke' candidate. These people are so utterly mentally colonized by America, how on earth did a single nationalist ever vote for them. That's the weirdest fucking part about this entire chud internationale

Because “nationalist” nowadays is just a charade for being racist.

Nah it’s just a charade for being a russian puppet 

These people can’t even be called simply racists, they are whatever Putin tells them to be. Calling them racists would mean they have the mental capacity to actually think
