    It looks like theyre supposed to have a right to vote whatever they understand that they should vote. The fact that they are banned when they do so seems contradictory

      It does not, considering the suspension of voting rights is a process every member has agreed to existing.

      A member state who goes rogue, who acts in the interest of foreign nations and not in the interest of the collective can, should and must have its voting rights suspended. The protection and continued existence of the union takes precedence over any individual nation’s voting rights.

      There is no contradiction here. Suspending voting rights exists explicitly because there is no right to vote for whatever you want.

          To see what the majority of voters want, not pander to one or two of them only.

          To arrive at a mutual consensus. That’s what the point of voting has always been.

          Suspending a malicious actor’s voting rights does not violate this. In fact, it is required to do so. See the paradox of tolerance which goes into some more detail.

                Your incapacity to read is worth of note. Not in a single word i did support Hungary (who are not nazis afaik, but i may be wrong. Nazis are more like Azov in Ukraine, or Israel), the point in debate was the voting system. Not even the content of what was being voted was discussed

              “historycal”

              Don’t you have a munitions dump that you need to clean up? Why don’t you fuck off and take that group of shitstains you call an army with you. In the meantime, the grownups are talking, Boris.
