He's mostly been described as centre right, but we'll see. If he's not beholden to Russia and not massively corrupt, then that's a huge step. If they then undo the damage done by Orbán to the constitution and institutions of Hungary, then there will be a way forward.

True, and I don't mean to imply that Hungary will magically be transformed into a thriving democracy as soon as Orbàn is out. It's gonna take years to rebuild the judiciary alone, and we'll see how committed Maygar is to restoring inconvenient aspects of democracy like press freedom and fair elections. Still, Hungary took the first step towards reestablishing democracy by voting, and I'm getting tired of hearing how voting doesn't work from people who's only political activities are sharing the, "You're Finished," meme and telling people to read theory.
