My forecast of the final parliamentary seat distribution for the Hungarian elections is the following:

Fidesz: 264 seats (68.4%)
MSZP: 58 seats (15%)
Jobbik: 48 seats (12.4%)
LMP: 16 seats (4.1%)

I’ve written about this in more detail in a post on the Monkey Cage blog.

New MSc in International Politics from the  Department of Political Science, Trinity College Dublin

This new M.Sc. in International Politics offers graduate students a combination of rigorous training in the study of international politics with a comprehensive empirical approach to understanding many prominent problems in contemporary world politics, especially topics where domestic and international politics cannot be understood in isolation from each other. These topics include democratisation, international cooperation, development and foreign aid, international conflict as well as the politics of many environmental issues and their implications for the politics of developing countries. Students will also receive training in research methods.
