Fidesz or Mi Hazánk?? Only Fidesz!
Anyone who wants a patriotic government—and not puppets allied with foreign agents—should make the best decision by giving both of their votes to Fidesz!!

I received three messages from Mi Hazánk supporters asking why I rate the expected result of the Mi Hazánk candidate in North Pest at four percent on the election barometer. The barometer is not measured or operated by me. It receives instructions on what data to work from: the results of telephone surveys conducted here in the constituency during this campaign, the results of previous elections in North Pest, as well as local political events from recent weeks and months. Based on these, the election barometer calculates the expected outcome.

It currently gives András Bartal four percent. This may still change over the next three weeks—at least in theory—because whenever something significant happens, the barometer will adjust a candidate’s expected result up or down.

What I can say to Mi Hazánk voters is this: voting for András Bartal is a wasted vote. It is a wasted vote because he will not win the individual mandate here in North Pest. I would be glad if Mi Hazánk supporters voted for me instead—then, with their help, we could defeat Balázs Barkóczi.

And finally, North Pest could have a patriotic Member of Parliament who is ready to work—someone who, I hope, has proven over the past weeks and months to be hardworking, dedicated, and enthusiastic.

And I thank Mi Hazánk supporters for their trust!

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “Fidesz = the only patriotic, rational choice”
👉 “Mi Hazánk = no chance → wasted vote”
👉 “Opposition = foreign agents, puppets”
👉 “Voting = a tactical decision, not a principled one”


🧩 Hidden formula

a political situation (multiple right-wing actors)
→ emphasizing viability (“4%”)
→ building legitimacy (“barometer”)
→ applying tactical pressure (“wasted vote”)
→ emotional identification (“patriot”)
→ final direction (“vote for me”)

👉 Classic: data + fear + rationalization → vote redirection


🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ “Wasted vote” framing (tactical coercion)

👉 “it’s a wasted vote if you vote for András Bartal”

🎯 Goal:
– take away the feeling of free choice
– redirect voters toward the “winning” side

💥 Effect:
– the voter doesn’t focus on what they want
– but on what is “not wasted”


2️⃣ Pseudo-objectivity (“barometer”)

👉 “I don’t measure it… it calculates from data”

🎯 Goal:
– present opinion as fact
– disguise a personal claim as an “independent calculation”

💥 Effect:
– the audience doesn’t question it
– because “the numbers say so”


3️⃣ Selective use of numbers

👉 “4%” (a precise number, without transparent evidence)

🎯 Goal:
– create an illusion of credibility
– cement the perception of hopelessness

💥 Effect:
– it sticks in the voter’s mind: “they can’t win anyway”


4️⃣ False rationality (tactical voting narrative)

👉 “with their help, we could defeat…”

🎯 Goal:
– turn an ideological choice into a mathematical decision

💥 Effect:
– emotional preference → strategic calculation


5️⃣ “Us vs them” (enemy framing)

👉 “puppets allied with foreign agents”

🎯 Goal:
– create a moral divide
– legitimize one’s own side

💥 Effect:
– no longer a political debate
– but “nation vs betrayal”


6️⃣ Patriotic labeling (identity hack)

👉 “patriotic government”, “patriotic representative”

🎯 Goal:
– trigger identification
– own candidate = “good Hungarian”

💥 Effect:
– if you don’t support them → implicitly not patriotic


7️⃣ Bandwagon / viability narrative

👉 “we could defeat…”, “I am the viable candidate”

🎯 Goal:
– push people toward the perceived winner

💥 Effect:
– people want to belong to the “winning side”


8️⃣ Apparent humility + self-promotion

👉 “I would be happy… thank you for your trust”

🎯 Goal:
– create a likable, human image
– while still promoting oneself

💥 Effect:
– feels less like aggressive campaigning


⚠️ Summary (short)

👉 This is a classic vote-redirecting propaganda
👉 Key tool: “wasted vote” psychology
👉 Reinforced with: numbers + a “neutral” barometer
👉 Framing: patriots vs traitors worldview


💣 How it really works

👉 It’s not about what is true
👉 it’s about:

  • who you believe is likely to win
  • who you fear “wasting your vote” on
  • which side you want to belong to
