I’ll buy it
“A party list can be created by a party that has nominated independent candidates in at least nine counties and the capital in at least fifty individual electoral districts” – this is one of the points on which the government dated November 10 2020 at 23:59 T / 13679. would modify certain electoral laws (.pdf) with its proposal no. The proposal, presented by Zsolt Semjén, Deputy Prime Minister for General Affairs, and presented by Judit Varga, Minister of Justice, essentially makes it impossible for opposition parties to nominate candidates in a coordinated manner.
Under the proposal, if the opposition parties do not want to run for each other’s candidates, they will be forced to draw up a joint list. With all his ode, such as the fact that the entry list for a party list is already three percent when three or more parties establish a joint list.
Judit Varga, by the way, justified the amendment by taking action against the camouflage parties, saying that the goal was that “only parties with real social support could establish a national list.” In fact, in the last elections, several camouflage parties managed to put together a national list, but the reason for this was hardly that they only had to nominate individual candidates for this in 27 districts. Once there, the institution of multiple nominations made it much easier for them to do so, meaning that one voter could nominate multiple candidates and lists. Thus, it may have happened that parties running for election that did not have all the real support based on the results typically nominated a sufficient number of candidates in the same individual electoral districts to make the list.
“Judit Varga is stupid or she is lying,” commented Dr. Ferenc Mátyás, representative of the Ferencváros municipality impulse, about the bill presented under the guise of night and literally a few minutes later, which came into effect. In his opinion, it is clear that the real purpose of the draft amendments is not to prevent electoral fraud, but to prevent the opposition from running in a coordinated manner. Under the new regulation, if they want to avoid this, it is not enough for them to coordinate in individual districts, they are also forced to establish a common list.
