So, how about that Orban guy, eh?
- Thread starter jcpro
- Start date
But he has a minority and a deal with another party.
He doesn't have a super majority based on those numbers.
And be fair, Orban does seem to have gotten 53% so it isn't that he has no mandate.
It is that he has a super majority with those numbers.
It worked in 2016 and it worked in 2020 and it will work in 2024. Putin is irrelevant always has been.
So you are for democracy until a guy you don't like gets elected? and a majority of Hungarians think like this...so?The EU should boot Hungary out after such speeches of his. Watch the video in this link:
Hungary election: Viktor Orban's victory hailed by Putin
Near-complete results show Viktor Orban has won a fourth term in Hungary's election by a landslide.www.bbc.com
Are you saying non-stupid is not a desirable trait? Because we could certainly use it in Ontario. As for "family values" etc that is not that far from what our right wing nuts are after and that kinda thinking is what got DOFO into power.
FYI Russia does not have the same system as we do. They have a Presidential system and Putin has won by as little as 53%. The Duma election is separate and 126 seats are currently in opposition hands with the Communist party the leading opposition.
Yet you guys keep saying he is stupid and yet he keeps out foxing your guy. FYI the Lib-NDP have 50.44% of the popular vote so its the most democratic govt we have had in a VERY long time.

Are you in favour of democracy, does that include fair elections?
Hungarian election wasn’t a fair fight, observers say
Media bias and murky campaign finance rules favored Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government, according to international experts.

Does that apply for Kosovo?
And there is a huge difference between criticizing the Orban's record of abusing rights and scapegoating on racial lines and demanding the dissolution of Hungary.
p.s. You do realize how over the top your straw-man is right? No one was demanding an invasion or regime change.
Where did I say anything about him being elected is "not democracy". Urban is very critical about the "leftist EU", in spite of Hungary benefiting from the income that is pouring in from the EU to Hungary. Are you okay with slamming someone who is handing you the Euros on a plate that other nations like Germany are paying more than their fair share?
So you say member states should not have a say in the policy of the EU then? They should just suck it up?
What that the 2 parties that are working together represent a majority of votes and that its therefore democratic? That is bizarre?
Conservatives did the same thing in Canada. Media bias always exists, but with the internet people have access to info. Incumbency is always an advantage. Look at what DOFO is doing.Are you in favour of democracy, does that include fair elections?

So call it out when it happens and don't claim its a democratic choice when the system has been tilted for one party.
Not that I think Ford, much as I dislike him, has done anything like Orban.
To you lefties the democracy is a fig leaf. As soon as the people take the "wrong" turn the prick comes out.
No one seems surprised so the exit polls must have confirmed the result. In either case I have not heard of anyone asking for a recount
