The irony: what gave Viktor Orbán landslide power is now what crushed him—the very district-based electoral system he designed. In this kind of system, the country is divided into districts, and whoever wins each district takes the seat. That lets a party with a strong, efficient geographic base turn a modest majority into a huge parliamentary edge. That’s how ~54% of the vote once became ~70% of seats—enough for constitutional change. In Israel, a similar system might’ve given Likud something like 70 seats. But when it flipped, ~40% left him with barely a quarter of parliament. As Israel Katz once said: electoral reforms tend to backfire on their authors. District systems amplify wins—but also losses. When it works, you dominate. When it doesn’t, you’re wiped out. I wrote a book about it a few years ago. You're welcome to read it if you have trouble falling asleep.
