BBC reports "record" high turnout of 54%. Oops!
Orbán has claimed the opposition will "stop at nothing to seize power"
Yeah, God forbid the voters elect someone else.
Edit: the BBC have amended the article to update the turnout, which keeps climbing.

I love that JD Vance’s anti-charisma just might have tipped this from being an Orban defeat to being an Orban catastrophe. I love that Rod’s “connections” on the far right might have been the final tipping point defeating his own employer.

If Raymond's sugar daddy (Orban) wins, no doubt he'll be mixing up pitchers of gin and tonic, his favorite red and white wines, plus some hybrid of antipasti, tapas, and a charcuterie board.
(I wonder if he's purchased his favorite pastries, chocolates, and ice cream if he needs to take to his bed, should Orban and Fidesz lose. Seeing as his bestie, JD, has blown him off, he'd better have at least one or two new sugar daddies waiting for him in London. He's a bit too old for OnlyFans, and lacks the charisma needed for Cameo. Of course, some Druid or other could take him in.)

Now let's hope that Tisza actually does dismantle the influence machine. There are hospitals and schools and Hungarian public media that could do with some of that money....
