The Socialist Party within Hungary and their membership agreed that it's in their collective interest to stand down their candidates (including incumbent members) for this election, because the electoral system under Orban's rule is rigged to skew in favour of the plurality party, especially when the opposition is divded. To undo it and reform the process to be more fair for other parties, a similar 2/3rds majority is required.
