Maybe it's time to suspend Hungary's EU membership and have them go through the accession process again. Kinda wild that countries trying to become a member have to comply with so many (albeit reasonable) regulations, while the actual members can just become dictatorships and still keep their veto power.

You say that like it's a bad thing
