    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.

          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.

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

      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.
