decent chance this was a mass coalition of popular support to oust a dictator large enough that the dictator understood it was concede gracefully or be drug from the palace by his ankles and then hung publically
As I understand, Hungarian elections were voted as “free, but not fair” by observers.
I.e the ballots would get counted properly, but Orban’s gerrymandered it into oblivion, most media belongs to Orban’s friends, etc. The winning party had every possible disadvantage short of Fidesz actually messing with the ballots themselves.
Couldn’t stuff the ballot boxes fast enough, eh?
