London frames Orban's fall as a democratic 'reckoning' where Trump's support sealed the populist's fate
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
London covers Orban's fall with the volume of a country that considers itself the guardian of democratic values — even post-Brexit. The Independent published two articles totaling nearly 3,000 words, headlining: 'Viktor Orban faces reckoning — and Trump's support may have sealed his fate.' The idea that Trump's support accelerated Orban's fall rather than protecting him inverts the populist narrative. For post-Brexit Britain, Magyar's victory reinforces the EU that London left, but weakens the populism that Farage imported.
