Indeed, Hungary shows the EU's magic dust has little to no ability to induce moderation.

  That's one example. There are other 27 (soon 26). Dont get we wrong: I dont think it's magic, just than then, and for Turkey, it would have worked. And more important: it would have been the right signal to send, to the whole world I sincerily think that was our best chance, ever, to kill fundamentalism for good. We will never know.

  Well, we don't know what would have happened if Hungary wasn't a Member State.

    It doesn't matter, since the topic was whether being a member state ensures moderation.
    • gonvaled 10y ago
      It doesn't, but it can help. Anyway, in case of Hungary, they have already been warned by the EU a couple of times. Time will tell how this evolves, but weakening the project as UK has done will for sure reduce the incentives to return to a more moderate path. These free-market types, they are really wreaking the world. The 1% capitalism we have reached is putting a death sign in the fundamentalist market ideology, but they are for sure going down with a bang.
