Orban has lost in Hungary

Time will tell Casdon as it often does.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, albeit salutary.

It will, I agree. The next big test will be the Scottish and Welsh elections, as far as the UK is concerned, then the US midterms.

I’m truly amazed at the joyful reaction on here to Orban’s defeat. It’s as though people are blind to how Europe and the UK’s infrastructure, society and culture has been all but destroyed by uncontrolled immigration. It’s a funny old world that’s for sure….

Maybe the Hungarians are sick and tired of Oban blocking help going to Ukraine from the eu.
Plus the rampant in your face corruption.
Plus shortage of no end of goods thanks to his bum buddy, Trump.
That’s just for starters.

Google is a mere click away twaddle.

In which specific ways have the UK's infrastructure, society and culture been destroyed by immigration (which isn't, by the way, uncontrolled)?

I'm suffering a genuine "need to go to Specsavers" moment, so perhaps you could enlighten me and anybody else who was wondering.

Laughably Magyar is described as centre right.
He will do exactly what he is told by the EU.

I'm at a loss to understand why the description as "centre right" is laughable. Why is being centre right incompatible with being told what to do by the EU?

Some good news! 👏

Fantastic - maybe the world is waking up to the Trump/Putin grip on the world stage

Thank goodness. Let’s hope the tide is turning with regard to far right populism.

I really hope so.

Well done the good people of Hungary👏

First bit of good news in ages!

Orban had just been in power too long, 16 years.Like the Conservatives found last year, people just want a change. Since he was a friend of Putin it’s better for Europe that he’s gone.

Thank goodness.

I wonder if Vance trumpeting Trump's support did more harm than good

I hope so.

Thank goodness. Let’s hope the tide is turning with regard to far right populism.

Viktor Orbán effectively wrote a playbook for modern right-wing populism - one that leaders like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage have followed. But empowering extremism is a risky strategy, and it doesn’t ensure long-term control.

Well let’s hope that as a centre right party, it leans more towards Europe than Russia.
