Participation has been rising especially in Budapest and surrounding - no good news for Orban and JOBBIK.
Boros said in a tweet: "The Hungarian political landscape will dramatically change today."Well, that's helpful. |

And Budapest has several key Fidesz-MSZP marginal seats at constituency level.

Damp Hungarians presumably look like eels in a hovercraft. |

I have heard it alleged that the constituency boundaries are gerrymandered. Is this true, and if so to what extent. Are we talking something resembling the American set-up (almost fractal boundaries, designed to essentially lock in a result), the French set-up (boundaries which have more to do with partisanship than communities, but made up of defined sub-units) or the English set-up (fair boundaries, but with the rules governing how they're drawn designed in the hope they'll produce a partisan effect)?

Europe Elects are now estimating that Fidesz' majority will be reduced to just 7 seats:

The picture apparently improving for Fidesz - Jobbik at 20% aren't they anti-Semites? |

They have apparently moderated themselves to become a Hungarian equivalent of UKIP.

They have apparently moderated themselves to become a Hungarian equivalent of UKIP. I'd be quite sceptical of that. Once an anti-Semite always an anti-Semite. I suspect they are probably aiming to be something more like the Hungarian pre-war Arrow Cross party. |

NB: Candidates who poll 0 votes have withdrawn from the constituency in question.
There are a lot of tactical withdrawals going on in Hungary in the single member constituencies. The Hungarian Greens, LMP, have made a few but some are being done in their favour by the Hungarian Socialists and Dialogue alliance (Dialogue split from LMP in 2012). |

Gabor Vona has resigned as Jobbik leader. Are they doing worse than expected? Currently at ~19.65% (92% counted) JOBBIK lost a little bit (~ -1%) and performed roughly as in the OpinionPolls (newest one 20%, Median [said to be the best] 16%, another company 25%). It's perhaps more, that Vona's strategy of bridging to the Left has flopped and many/most in his party having never been too keen on this shift. |
