Hungarian Parliamentary Dynamics and Electoral Design (balkaninsight.com)
- Institutional persistence of democratic structures in Hungary.
- Electoral design facilitates consistent supermajorities.
- Structural risks associated with legislative power concentration.
"Following sixteen years of governance under illiberal political frameworks, Hungary retains its democratic status. However, the nation's electoral architecture is deliberately structured to advantage dominant political entities, effectively normalizing two-thirds parliamentary majorities. This structural bias raises concerns regarding long-term democratic health and the concentration of executive and legislative authority, potentially undermining political pluralism within the European framework."
