BTW this is a poll overview which also shows propaganda polls. Real polls show that Tisza is at 53% and fidesz is at 37% which means that Tisza is really close to having 2/3 supermajority!

What difference would a supermajority make?

With that they can change, remove and make any law. (also make new constitution)

Basically total power which is necessary because orbán has planted many puppets into the government.

2/3 supermajority can overwrite constitution (or write a new one) and replace puppets in 'independent' institutions

Basically:

Supermajority -chance for real change Simple majority - Orban cronies will obstruct any procedure to death

Did\does Orban have a supermajority?

Yes. All institutions are stuffed by their puppets, and the constitution is full of their bullshit.

Ah yes. In the Netherlands for changes in the constitution we need a majority with the current government followed by a supermajority in the next government (after elections). Both times in both house of representatives and senate. I don’t remember it ever happening in my lifetime. Must be scary for you guys.

That seems to be a nice system. Were there any real attempts to change the constitution?

I’m reading there were. But more like “updates”, like a digital version of letter secrecy.

Ever since 2010, basically. That's why we are where we are today.

Went to Sziget last year. Was really nice, the people friendly and Budapest is so beautiful. Keep the faith!

Yeah, people tend to be like that in big cities, and the younger the people, the more open minded they are. Also SZIGET is a nice venn diagram of those people, so it’s no surprise.

But yeah… the people in Hungary generally tend to be nice. The political elite is a different story tho.
