Would you throw them under the bus just to keep the populists out of the Union?
Also now that apparently Sweden is going to have a populist right-wing government, should they leave the EU?
To be clear: I'm asking these questions to highlight the ridiculousness of looking at a whole country through the lens of their (temporary) government.
- wikfwikf 4y agoThe point is not that they should be thrown out of the EU, but that the EU is now much more reluctant to allow another country with similar social and political problems to join.

It’s not stupid to look at what a country is actually doing. Hungary even gave Fidesz a second term. Countries which cross the EU red lines should be excluded no question.
