    I mean Hungary already acts like it’s not part of it when it comes to anything regarding foreign policies. At this point I’m they seem to just be mooching off the economic benefits.

      That’s Orban not the people, we’ll see in February IIRC when he gets the boot. Even with his anti democratic maneuversvit seems unlikely that he’d get reelected. I sure hope so too.

      They became the poorest country in the EU but benefits the most, fuck that scum traitor.

      And welcome back Hungarian people!

      I don’t think they’d quit though. They’re benefiting too much. They bark but won’t bite I think.

          Yeah hahaha, if Trump can convince them to leave voluntarily that 'd be the best thing happening to the EU in years.

          Unfortunately, the EU was built without a mechanism for removing a member state.

          And while Orban might be a disgusting corrupt cleptocrat grifter, he isn’t dumb and knows all too well that the source of all that nice money he and his buddies are stealing would dry up the instant Hungary left the EU.

      Or they do, and everybody else acts as if the EU has to be a country like the US.

      Unanimous means that a country cannot be forced to act against their will. That was the promise of the EU, economic benefits with political independence. Demanding more is bait and switch.

            I noticed that nearly everything that I saw that was ill conceived, misleading, inaccurate or downright wrong, missing the while point, or just plain nasty in this thread was written by you.

              Thanks for the feedback. I will try to scale down the nastyness but I have no idea how to be more correct. As far as I know my statements are correct. What do you think is wrong? E.g. in this thread, originally, the countries were supposed to be independent. Of course, some people have always wanted the EU to be a single country, but that’s not how it was sold.

                In 1993?! Or 1957?! Make the EU the EEC again!? The only good way to live is in the past? Back to the golden age of low consumer, worker and human rights! Less economic power and regulatory influence globally! Yay! /s

                How reactionary is that?

                But it’s not just that. It’s the other bad takes. They’re nearly all yours.
