Sometimes known as "Model-T election"

"Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black."

Sounds like you don't like the outcome and dismiss the possibility that it's the result of the system. From what I understand Orban has a decent approval rating in his country. For Putin it's hard to say since Russia is so foreign and separated, just like China - the only source of info is random crap by your preferred biased media source.

But for Hungary - I've been there multiple times in the last few years, know a few people, and I have no trouble believing he won democratic elections.
