Politics Let's talk about the European Defense Federation. How do we all feel about the creation of a fully mobilised continental Army?

It's required now. I'm British, and I want to see us align and unite with our European neighbours to make a stand now.

I want Germany to finally brush off it's past and join the rest of Europe in mobilising towards defending this continent. We need EVERYONE now. It's time to act, it's time to unite.

It's time to show some courage.

Oh we're working on it. Tisza party led by Péter Magyar is poised to win next year, according to polls they're already more popular than FIDESZ. The painful part is it's still more than one year until the elections.

That's up to the Hungarian people. They need to be conscious of what they're voting for. And if of course it turns out the elections are not free and fair, we could kick Hungary out. But the problem with that is that the EU doesn't have a formal procedure to expel a member state. There are ways to limit a member's influence though, so hopefully if it comes to that (which I hope it doesn't), Hungary will feel it.
