BBC saying Viktor Orban has conceded.

Given the opposition leader was previously park of Orban's party be interesting to see if there is to be any change in Hungary

Why are the BBC obsessed with the Hungarian election? They've never been bothered about elections in eastern Europe before. I'm sure 99.999999999% of British people couldn't care less who won.

It’s a setback for the dullest reactionary racist simpletons on the planet, ours included.

Yes they have. They covered the result in the last Polish election for example. It's unusual for a European leader to be in place for 16 years, too, so it is reasonably interesting. I think that they should give Eastern European elections as much coverage as French or German. A reasonable amount, but nae overboard.

Edit: not that I give a shite about any election really. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm giving an objective point of view on the state broadcaster and what would seem to be reasonable.
