Okay, I avoided this long enough, the opposition preliminaries of the 2022 parliamentary election of Hungary. Oh god.
Since no opposition party is strong enough to oust the Fidesz-KDNP alliance, and gain the government, they decided to put forward a common candidate for the seat of prime minister, and run on the election together all supporting the same person.
Opposition parties are:
DK - split from the socialist MSZP, this is the party of PM Gyurcsány Ferenc, whom the 90% of Hungarians are love to hate. Somehow he still remained relevant, and the fact is DK is the a largest opposition party.
MSZP - what remained from the socialist MSZP. Nothing remarkable can be told.
Jobbik - the ex-right radical party, the radical part went, now they are moderate right I dunno.
Momentum - liberals,, they are taking over the place of LMP
MMM - new formation around one of the candidates, Márki-Zay Péter, more about him below, the party basically the same size as the LMP,
LMP - liberals, getting more marginal by the day

The goal of the preliminaries is to make sure the opposition can stay in the news, and the headlines, because no real issue to be opposition about, except fags, and how the Fidesz doesn't allow them spreading the fagness in kindergartens. Well they could cry about the corruption too, but despite everyone is pissed about it, noone cares enough to do something, or rally around one opposing force at least. So the only way to stay relevant is to make a huge circus about who's gonna be their PM candidate.

As how things stand now in the first round of the preliminaries noone gained the majority of the votes and voters. So second round is starting today and will go on till next Saturday, now only with two candidates for the candidateship.
1. Dobrev Klára - her most notable achievement is being the wife of PM Gyurcsány Ferenc. It's really great because this makes her hated by everyone, except a huge chunk of opposition voters, and thanks to them she is the most supported candidate!
2. Márki-Zay Péter - on national level he was basically unkown until this thing started, however he is a mayor of a county seat, a major town (although it isn't among the largest), so he isn't nothing. He basically is on a conservative position, among all these socialists and liberals. He should have been quite acceptable for Jobbik too, but for some reason they ain't actively support him, I guess, in the second round their voters will pick him anyway.

So this is how things stand now.
