Both Fidesz and Jobbik outperform expectations in Hungary:
8 million Hungarians went to the polls to elect a 199-seat parliament in
the 2018 general elections, which many expected would see the incumbent Prime
Minister Viktor Orbán- and his right-wing Fidesz party - win his third
consecutive term. And, as covered here on numerous prior occasions, Orban's
campaign had been centered around anti-immigration policies, an especially
sensitive topic not only in Hungary and Central Europe, but across the old
continent.
His main competitors are Gergely Karacsony, a candidate for the Socialist and Dialogue parties; and Gabor Vona of the far-right nationalist Jobbik party, or rather were because according to the Hungarian election office website, Prime Minister Orban’s ruling Fidesz party has won a sweeping, landslide victory according to preliminary results with 69% of the votes counted.

- Fidesz
with 49.5% of party-list votes, matching most pre-election opinion polls
- Formerly
far-right Jobbik second with 20% of list votes, Socialists at 11.9%
- LMP and DK
parties also poised to clear parliamentary threshold based on partial
count
In other words, Orbán's Fidesz party has secured an absolute majority, and
may even reach as much as a two-thirds majority of 133 seats, enough to pursue
a constitutional amendment, making life for George Soros in Hungary even more
unbearable.
Can Jobbik really be called
"far-right" or "extreme" when it has nearly twice the
electoral support as the Socialists?
This is what the Right needs to be doing throughout the West. Embrace nationalism. Reject immigration. It's not that hard and it will be successful, because everyone can see that the neo-liberal world order has failed, that immigration is dreadfully destructive of both the economy and the society, and that those who are pushing the globalist vision of one race, one world, one government are literally and materially evil.

Orban’s strong win could boost other right-wing nationalists in Central
Europe, in Poland and in neighboring Austria, and expose cracks in the
28-nation EU.
Of course it will. Nationalism is rising and
the Alt-Right is inevitable, because the truth cannot be obscured indefinitely.
Communism has failed. Socialism has failed. Neo-liberalism has failed.
Conservatism has failed. Constitutionalism has failed. Civic Nationalism has
failed. Multiculturalism has failed. Feminism has failed. Globalism has failed.
Once the impossible has been eliminated, what remains, however improbable or
unpleasant, must be the truth.
Notice that all of the alternatives are lies, knowingly and consciously told for the purpose of deception. That is not an accident or a coincidence.
