Fidesz' victory was guaranteed in 2010. With or without the bailout. The preceding government was full of typical scandals of corruption and incompetence, and they were seen as the old guard from the Communist/Socialist era. People hated them, and it was surprising for a lot of people that Fidesz lost in 2006.

Without the bailout the economy would have been much worse, and Fidesz could have used some kind of other external enemy instead of the IMF.
