Whoa, that's a pretty strong early lead for the opposition! But 14.7% reporting is still super early, right? Fingers crossed it holds.

Don't hold your breath. Rural areas and smaller towns always report later, and that's where Fidesz support is strongest. This 'lead' will vanish by morning.

Yeah, exactly. 133 for a supermajority is a huge hurdle, especially with how districts are gerrymandered. Even if the opposition wins, changing the constitution will be tough.

It's just the big cities reporting first. Orban's actually good for Hungary, keeps things stable.

So this means it's not looking good for Orban then? I really hope so.

Man, I remember the last election, it looked close for a bit and then BAM, Fidesz landslide. Happens every time. Gives you hope then crushes it.
