I think Orban will stick around. Cockroaches always do, remember Berlusconi was scum too and managed to start a whole new party

Not to defend the Berlusca but he wasn't anywhere as much of a pain for Europe as Orbàn was, and the damage he's done here wasn't as severe. It was definitely bad but that's not even a different level, but a wholly different game

He was happy getting richer and making bigger and bigger parties. He didn't try to undersell the country to Russia as much

@Elessar yeah I realise now its an apples to oranges comparison

Elessar · 31-35, M

@Longpatrol Bananas to oranges, (at least if comparing with Trump*)

Though no it's not a completely wrong comparison, Orbàn and by extension Trump took elements of their politics from him. He just didn't go as far

@jshm2 I don't think he's coming back. For all his many many faults he was gracious in defeat and accepted the will of the people.

@jshm2 Put down the vodka, Vladimir

@Waveney He's lost with 36.72% against 55% and a massive turnout, it wasn't a tie, Magyar won with a landslide, not admitting defeat would've ended very poorly for him and his party.

It’s difficult to adjust, I imagine, going back to obscurity after such a long time in a position of power.
