Orban Landslide And The Left Don't Get It.

The Left doesn't care to ask why Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is genuinely popular.

Viktor Orban has won stonking majorities not one, not two, but three. IT’S A LONG TIME SINCE A MAYORAL BY-ELECTION IN A SMALL HUNGARIAN TOWN EXCITED INTERNATIONAL NEWS COVERAGE. SOME WEEKS BEFORE HUNGARY’S GENERAL ELECTION, A STRONGHOLD OF THE GOVERNING PARTY WAS LOST TO THE OPPOSITION. IT’S FUNNY HOW, ACCORDING TO MOST OF THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA, WHEN THE OPPOSITION WINS, HUNGARY IS A DEMOCRACY, BUT WHEN VIKTOR ORBÁN WINS, IT ISN’T.Viktor Orbán’s landslide victory on Sunday now makes him the most successful Hungarian politician ever. That’s not my opinion. That’s a fact. He had his first term as prime minister in 1998 at the age of 35, and, since 2010, has won three successive terms. Telegraph.
