A lot of us who have the means to protest left the country instead as a form of protesting, because it's so easy to move inside EU.
A huge other part of Hungarians who Orban gave votes to were born and poor people living in Romania and getting just a little bit of money from the country to vote for Orban, but they are not paying taxes (representation without taxation is just as bad as taxation without representation, which was achieved in Magna Carta).
Hungarians living in Hungary had 1 day to vote, while Hungarians living in Romania had weeks and could vote in letter.
- epicureanideal 4y agoThis sounds like the “politicians picking the electorate” that is complained about in the US when amnesties happen, and about debate about mail in voting and so on. I think there’s a valid discussion to be had about this but it doesn’t seem completely unprecedented.
