I forgot that the German Minority Municipality also gained a mandate. All those grey "parties" ending with Ö, are minority municipalities.

If I understood correctly Márki-Zay has the option either to sit in the parliament, or remain as mayor. In the parliament he would be just one bloke among many, who doesn't even have his own party. But back in his town he's the boss. The problem with that is, that mayors rarely make into national news.
And now both Jobbik and DK already shifting the blame on him.
> child-protection law was already in place
It is. I'm not sure why this referendum was needed at all. I assume that it was just the part of the campaign one more tool of the Fidesz. They used it to demonize the opposition that they want to chop the weewees of all Hungarian little boys or whatever. And basically:

I think working and living abroad could even turn someone into a patriot. One of our great reformers of the 19th came to the realization that the country is in pressing need of modernization after he traveled west in his young adulthood (especially the visit in England had huge impact on him). Previously he was just an aristocrat in the court, enjoyed the life the wealth of his family granted to him. I don't think it is an impossibility, perhaps it's rare.
Now specifically Márki-Zay. I dunno if he's a patriot, he considers himself conservative, patriotism can overlap with that.
> I don't trust any politician really
Smart.
