^^ Many moons ago when I was in school, we had a guest for one of our lectures that was a member of the British Parliament (don't remotely remember his name) and he was talking about the EU. I basically got into a loud discussion with him in front of the class, after he said some truly shady (expletive) he didn't think he would get called on about admitting certain countries as member states and not others.
And it was for exactly this reason. Hungary is in the EU passing a law like this, why?
Because you can only admit countries, no mechanism to kick anyone out involuntarily. Of course you already knew that.
With some luck maybe they'll vote Orban out next year and if so things will change for the better. I don't think Hungarians are really that massively different from neighboring Slovaks or Croatians.

Serious here. You think there can be fair elections in Hungary, with a guy like Orban in charge?

Hard to say. They did manage to remove Bibi in Israel.

Bibi lost his premiership by parliamentary procedure, not at the ballot box.

And that was only possible because he came a bit short in the latest elections.

Has Netanyahu moved out yet or is he still staging a sit in?

His inability to maintain a working coalition government played a part as well.
