I wonder why you did not consider outright voting fraud? Not a scandalous 99% pro-Fidesz return, but juuust enough for it to form a government even if they cannot attain a two-thirds majority. It would be far less messy than other options being discussed. And when it happened recently in Georgia, Orbán rushed there to congratulate the cheating Georgian government in person, signalling his approval (and possibly his intentions too). Yes, huge popular protests have ensued in Georgia, but a) they haven't changed a thing, and b) cannot the Hungarian government rely on the generally smaller demos in Hungary for confort?
