The amendment of the electoral law a year and a half before the elections is certainly an energy technology gimmick, political analyst Gábor Török told Nyugat.hu.

A party list can be established by a party that has nominated independent candidates in at least fifty (instead of twenty-seven) individual electoral districts in at least nine counties and in the capital; This rule is also included in the amendment to the Electoral Law, which Zsolt Semjén, Deputy Prime Minister and Judit Varga presented on Tuesday evening.

This proposal forces opposition parties wishing to nominate a candidate in individual districts to draw up a joint list, insofar as this amendment is undeniably and undeniably a pure technical trick of power a year and a half before the elections, the political scientist Gábor Török told the portal.

They are born to realize what the government has already imagined before: the opposition, if it wants to nominate a candidate everywhere in individual electoral districts, can only run on a common list in elections.

Oddly enough, the amendment simplifies the situation for the opposition: if you want common individual candidates, you can only think of a common list, no other solution is much left. Also, the various opposition voters may find it easier to accept the common list, as the opposition may even say that Viktor Orbán is forcing it to do so, Turk said.

In your opinion, up to now there have been arguments for and against a common list, and you would not dare to say that a common list is worse for the opposition than a multi-list solution. There is only one version that would be really bad for the opposition: if it could not nominate common candidates for some reason; in this case, another two-thirds victory could already be secured for the government side, the political scientist added.
