Hungarian Parliamentary Elections 2010

[freek]

First round next Sunday

Poll by Szonda Ipsos, conducted between March 27 and April 2:

Fidesz 62% (+5% since last poll)
MSZP 20% (nc)
Jobbik 13% (-4%)
LMP 3% (nc)
MDF 1% (nc)
Others 1% (-1%)

SZDSZ stands for Szabad Demokraták Szövetsége, so SzDSz is the most correct way (like PdL is the correct way to abbreviate Il Popolo della Liberta in Italy).

SZDSZ themselves abbreviate it as 'SZDSZ' on their web site, not 'SzDSz'. However, if you use SzDSz, you should also write 'MSZP' as 'MSzP' since it stands for Magyar Szocialista Párt.

Hungarian national television now gives as results (if I interpret it correctly with 99.1% counted):

Fidesz-KDNP - 52.77% / 206 seats
MSZP - 19.30%  / 28 seats
Jobbik - 16.71% / 26 seats
LMP - 7.42% / 5 seats
MDF - 2.65% / 0 seats

Total: 265 seats.

Remember, there's a runoff (and I think the 58 national seats to equalize differences between the single-member result and PV).

Yes. The 58 national seats can only be allocated after all the single-member results are known.
