Evidence

Electoral system requires Tisza ~55% popular vote for parliamentary majority vs Fidesz ~45% — confirmed by IOG + Atlatszo structural analysis
Polls near-tied but not past threshold: Tisza 45.6% vs Fidesz 41.6% in independent surveys — opposition leads, but not past the ~55% needed to win
Documented Polymarket whale bets ($200K+ on Magyar/Tisza) artificially suppressing the YES price below 40%
Orbán has won every election since 2010 under the same gerrymandered system — 4 for 4
December 2024 redistricting further cemented Fidesz's structural advantage heading into 2026
