Two-Thirds Majority: Party and Per-Cent Threshold

two-thirds majority: The right-wing nationalist Jobbik party placed second with 26 seats, while a Socialist-led, left-wing coalition ran third with 20, according to Toronto Star. Only two other parties, former prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsany's Democratic Coalition and the green Politics Can Be Different party, were expected to surpass the 5-per-cent threshold needed to form a parliamentary faction. With 84.7 per cent of the votes counted, Fidesz and its small ally, the Christian Democrat party, had secured 133 of the 199 seats in the legislature, the minimum needed for a two-thirds majority.
