The EU Is Letting Hungary and Poland Erode Democracy (foreignpolicy.com)

I'm sort of torn on this. I really like the idea of all member states having an equal say on things, but at the same time Hungary and Poland's fairly extreme stance is holding the whole bloc back.

Is there a democratic way to solve this? I'm not aware of one.

Yeah, there is a way: Every democratic EU country could join a completely new Union - leaving Poland and Hungary out. And then dissolve the old union.

Meh. That's not a solution. That's a workaround. These never pay out in the long run.
