Hungary's conservative opposition party Fidesz has won a two-thirds general election victory, second round results have confirmed.
With 99.22% of votes counted, the party had nearly 68% of the popular vote and 263 of the 386 seats in parliament, the national election committee said.
Almost a third of the seats were left to be decided on Sunday following the first round two weeks ago.
Fidesz promised to create jobs, lower taxes and reduce bureaucracy.
The ruling Socialists were in second place on 15% (59 seats), the far-right Jobbik had 12% (47 seats) and a new Green party called Politics Can be Different had 4.1% (16 seats).
THE GOP WILL JUST AS WELL HERE IN NOVEMBER.

The former eastern bloc countries have had their taste of socialism under the iron fist of Moscow and know fully well the short coming of that type of government. Doesn't surprise me the ruling socialist party lost.
