DK launches an info campaign to advise voters of ‘democratic’ candidates
The Democratic Coalition (DK) is launching an information campaign to advise voters which boxes for “democratic” party candidates to tick in individual constituencies to ensure “the strongest democratic opposition” outcome, DK politician Gergely Arató told a news conference on Monday.
Arató insisted the ruling Fidesz party had created a single-round election system skewed in such a way that it could win even with fewer votes than the opposition.
But ever since the upset in the Hódmezővásárhely election, the ruling party has realised this strategy would not work, he said, adding that now Fidesz would resort to dirty tricks such as spawning multitudes of tiny parties with similar names to the major opposition parties “like mushrooms”.
Hitherto unknown candidates that are independent or have had no political past are contenders, and many of these are only running with a view to splitting the opposition vote, Arató said.
He said the green opposition LMP party had not yet responded to DK’s proposal to coordinate in individual constituencies but DK was still open to doing so at the last moment.

He added that DK ruled out negotiating with Jobbik because formal cooperation with them would be inconceivable.

If Gyurcsány could come up with a similar recipe to beat the current paprikás krumpli/potato paprikash
on line here, he would have a chance at getting some decent votes. At least he could say he did it for the people and not himself. But this recipe would be to difficult for even him to conjure up.
