Yeah it's a difficult situation and I might have been a bit populist in my blatant 'throw them out' rethoric. It does feel a bit hopeless sometimes though. I am so glad Poland got out of the PIS stranglehold, though. It's hard to see former Eastern bloc states somehow succumbing to Russian interference.

The slowness of action is both Europes greatest asset as its fundemental weakness. It's relatively shielded from short lived populism, but it can't really react well to when the democracy rots through.

But thanks for this interaction and for justly calling for more nuance. It's not a great time with old creull autocrats seizing the reigns all over.

Valid suggestion. My motivation is based on Orban to veto any major changes that would defend Europe from Russia.

One could also change the need for absolute consensus in the EU but that could also lead to a slippery slope.

My reasoning is that if a country would not qualify for entry in the current state there should be pressure to change things. At least they shouldn't be able to extort the Union like they currently do.

I mean in no way to punish the Hungarian people, but there needs to be some unpacking to be done, I'm not sure if that could happen without external pressure in the current 'hacked' democracy.

It's not only the far right gaining power, it's about dissolving the democracy after they gain power. If they don't meddle with the trias politica, and change the way the democracy functions so that they remain in power, it's totally fine.

However Orban did that and therefore deserves a kick.

You seem to confuse declining service catered towards Dutch citizens living abroad with isolationism. I'm not sure what the reasons are that this level of service changed, however it isn't isolationist policy.

Wilders is certainly isolationist, he changed his time post Brexit and doesn't bring nexit up anymore, but I wouldn't trust him on that. However the current administration is not isolationist and mainly pro eu.

All I know of Dutch people living abroad (in France) is that most things are generally quite well arranged. Certainly compared to pre-eu standards. There's a lot of bureaucracy, but that's navigable.

But I'm sorry you experience things like you do maybe it's worse in Germany?

Yes and if they then destroy the democratic institutions (press, judiciary), without which they wouldn't been able to gain entry into the EU, they should be expelled.

Well it's not longer in compliance with entry qualifications. So sort out the democracy and gain entrance again.

So punish him by kicking his country out.

It's kissing the ring at this point

That rancid stuff? No ty

I want to believe Grok is an Orc in a basement to whom the questions are posed.
