Bad news from Hungary

 The Fidesz Party of the unapologetically illiberal, racist and Putin-supporting Viktor Orban is practically certain to remain in power in Hungary as a result of yesterday's general election. It looks as if there will be another four years of disruption of the EU from Prague and of help for Putin in his quest to restore the Russian empire.

Slightly better news was that, although a government proposition to restrict LGBTQ rights received majority support in a referendum also held yesterday, the number of people voting did not reach the necessary threshold to make it binding.
