  • As per usual admirer of extreme right wing ideologues on this forum. For American citizens and a prior US President to openly cheer on Orban, is IMO, a red flag for the future of democracy in the USA.

  • You clearly don't know what you are talking about and are just parroting whatever you heard on OAN etc TV. Do you happen to have a Thai wife or gf? Orban has plainly come out against "race mixing

Parliamentary system. Leaders chosen by parties. No direct vote, only for local representative.

I'm talking actual results and you know it. Start backing up your misinformation with links.

No misinformation. You are comparing apples and oranges. Politicians would conduct their campaigns differently if the popular vote actually mattered in places like the US and Canada. Voter behavior would also be very different.  So using it as any kind of actual important evidence of anything is useless.  

 

You could also try to make points by saying that Trump won 2,500 counties in the US election, but Biden won less than 500.  It would matter exactly the same because how counties vote is irrelevant and the election is not fought on that basis.

 

It is  a cheap and irrelevant way to try and score political points.  

 

Oh, and here is the election result from Canada in 2019. Trudeau won  while losing the popular vote. Same in 2021.
