Just ask JD Vance to speak for any right wing party's support. That'll fix that...

It should be noted the victorious party with a super majority is hardly left wing. Like other non Hungarians I'm glad, but the substantial questions around Hungarian postures to the EU, towards migrants, persisting antisemitism remain. How this affects geopolitics by removing a bloated Tic of pro Russian propaganda and veto voting is worth watching. I'm hopeful it has some immediate effect regarding funds and support for Ukraine, but Poland and Slovakia remain. It's good to be hopeful. It's good to be realistic.

Truly a great day for the Hungarian people, for Europe, and for the free world. Congrats, and thank you for doing your part, Hungary!

Looking forward to Hungary winning Eurovision this year. :) (not joking - it's completely political - people that don't vote in their national elections vote in Eurovision)

~78% voter turnout. Democracy won!
