Time to cut off all EU aid to Hungary, set an example for other rightwing freeloaders. If Orban vetos EU initiatives, meet separately and do them anyway. Then find a way to suspend/expel
@johnquiggin @ajsadauskas Hungary should've been kicked out years ago
@timrichards @ajsadauskas Indeed, but requires first a change in beliefs about unity/unanimity, and then complex rule changes. We saw this, going the other way, with Brexit
@johnquiggin @timrichards @ajsadauskas
The best rule changes would be ones to introduce a finely gradated set of sanctions that can be gradually escalated for flouting the rules. afaict this is mostly missing due to the focus on building trust among the small number of ECSC, EEC members early in the group's history. I remember the idealism growing up there in those days and it's a different world now.
