Hungary election results

I've got some better more detailed results for the Hungarian election. I've broken out the results for the opposition. The numbers show the seats won via the list + the constituencies won = the total seats won.

DK - 12 + 4 = 16 (+7)
MM - 6 + 4 = 10 (+10)
Jobbik - 9 + 0 = 9 (-8)
MSZP - 5 + 4 = 9 (-4)
PM - 3 + 4 = 7 (+2)
LMP - 3 + 2 = 5 (+-0)

Wikipedia has different numbers, however, I've added this up myself. It's possible I've made errors. 


The reason this result is so shocking is the polls.

The government's polling numbers in the 5 polls before the election were; 49%, 47%, 50%, 50%, and 49.3%. And the opposition 41%, 47%, 40%, 40%, and 46.5%. 

The final results were 53.1% for the government and 35.0% for the opposition. 

I expect this opposition coalition may well break up soon, I'll keep an eye on things as usual.
