One of the significant features of the election was that the winning Tisza Party won 93% of the electoral seats which are decided on a 'first-past-the-post' basis. Many of these seats are rural and in small towns which are typically conservative in outlook. The result is a country-wide rejection of FIDESZ and the way it has run the country. Especially the corruption and the attendant increase in inequality (sound familiar?). The Tisza Party is a centre-right party so many of its actual policies won't be that different to FIDESZ. But people overwhelmingly have had enough a corrupt, corpulent party that has enriched itself by feasting on the lives of ordinary Hungarians. #hungary
