Surprisingly dapper young politician. Being a cunt certainly takes its toll

Seems another done of the Innsmouth strain (See also Clacton).

Do they all contract a skin condition off Steve Bannon?

62?
Same age as Farage - tough paper rounds.

I rather like Jakub Krupa over on the Guardian EuroBlog. As Magyar inches ever closer to Orbán's burial, he can barely control his bladder.

In other news, we'll be going to Budapest in the summer. The Kreuzette likes to be in Bayern for her birthday, and the train from Salzburg costs but forty quid through the Alps. Our S-i-L still has an inherited apartment in the Old Town which we can use for free - result!

Orban conceded. He's so fucked, he can't even claim to have been cheated. Be nice if he ended up in clink.

Supermajority now looking distinctly possible.

That'll fuck things over for two despots - for now, anyway.

He's going to have a problem blaming foreign interference what with Netanyahu, Vance and Trump sticking their oars in.

The level of Orban support among Hungarians Abroad is incredible. Seems to be that he's chucked money at (already nationalist) ethnic Hungarians who live just over the border. I think I spot the first "difficult decision" for the new government...

A hard-right, Putin fellating, Trump adjacent kleptocracy get booted out in favour of a centre-right solution to all the country's ills and issues. Let's see how that works out and whether they have the balls to drive for a root and branch reset.

Anyone with breathtaking breasts and squillions in the Cayman Islands can probably sleep easy on their yacht tonight.

There's a lot of EU money frozen. I would think there's a fair bit of work to unfreeze it.

Anyway, everybody in Eastern Europe is center right or worse.

Looks like they were still going for the Trump denialist approach until they realized how fucked they were.

"Young man hid elderly man's voter ID" is spectacularly desperate. As is "company bosses pressurized people to vote against us". As opposed "company boss pal of Orban buys media and churns out shit against the opposition all the time".
