Share = đâ€ïž
A chart showing the share that Fidesz-led electoral lists won in % of votes (multi-member constituency or party list), of registered voters, and of seats.
Mr OrbĂĄn's Fidesz built itself an electoral system that boosted it until it didn't.
In 2014, the first year under the system, Fidesz-KDNP won a â
majority with 27% of the registered voters. Now, with 30% of registered voters, it is on track to 29% of the seats.

Indeed! Here is a reliable media source summarizing his absence of public media. He was last invited there in September 2024. And not at all during the campaign.

History is being made
Hungarians learned that:
Hope for change might come from people who you don't agree with on all issues and it might require unifying behind candidates who you don't agree with on all issues, but who support democratic principles and institutions that we value.
Today we celebrate for the future of Hungary!
For people from other countries who now look to Hungary for hope: Many people fought hard and for years against OrbĂĄn. PĂ©ter Magyar was a name unknown to most Hungarians just over 5 years ago. He mobilized people from across the political spectrum.
For years, but especially in the last few months, I have been trying hard to imagine what it will feel like seeing Orban decisively defeated. I just couldn't. And yet here we are: it is truly and well over. I have more reservations about Peter Magyar than I could say in 300 characters or a thread...

Notice how little variation the Hungarian parties show on left-right dimension on economy. Apparently it's not all about the economy.

Crowd at an outdoor protest in The Hague
Today in The Hague, I joined with thousands of others who care deeply about the future of higher education in the Netherlands to protest against drastic budget cuts. #DoeHetNiet
Poster: 'Stop de bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs'

Thanks for organizing this!
I'm working on flexible assessments in higher education from a UDL perspective and would love to be added!
Great data visualization content from Andy Kirk @visualisingdata.com for those teaching statistics and data science!
Gains and losses for the PVV. Big wins from VVD, non-voters, also winning voters from FvD, JA21.
Gains and losses for the PVV (source: Ipsos/NOS)
No way to spin this exit poll.
Left+Prog. parties (BIJ1, SP, PvdD, GL-PvdA, Denk, Volt) would collectively lose 14 seats compared to 2021
Right (CU, NSC, VVD, CDA, 50+, BBB, SGP) would gain 3
Far-right (PVV, FVD, JA21) would gain 11
The Netherlands will join an increasingly long list of West European countries (CH, FR, IT, SE) where the radical right has overtaken the mainstream right as the main party of the right. A watershed moment for liberal democracies.
