We have a similar system in the Netherlands but a meaningful difference is that you don't only need a 2/3 majority but also a 'confirming' vote by the next coalition. This might not do much in a case like Hungary or Turkey where the next ruler is similar as the previous but there having to be a public vote in between can potentially greatly shift the powers and end the majority.

Totally, our leaders fucking suck. But also I would like to argue it is a really great thing our leaders are (at least most of them) just regular people like you and me. And I don't know about you, but I suck from time to time too. Also fuck up everyone once in a while, make mistakes and am sometimes misinformed as well. I think we should collectively work on improving the system but also give the part of the idiots that do mean well some lenience. I think calling all politicians idiots, snakes and blood drinking lizards can be a slippery slope that can have very serious consequences in the long run.

But I agree it's totally worthless barely anybody is speaking up against Netanyahu in a meaningful way, even after so many recorded war crimes.

I don't know much about legal systems so your comments and sources are nice, but I haven't really seen the EU having much influence on Orban so far while I feel they have had problems with a lot of stuff he did.

Just like there was nothing wrong with Jews, they need a public enemy and they can't pick people from the majority so they've picked non-whites non-straights and non-females. Also lines up with the Christian believe system, which have been using LGBTQ people as scapegoat since they stopped burning witches.

Thanks for the extensive comment, but unfortunately the EU can't take Hungary to court. They also ignored the ICC order to arrest Netanyahu. I know I sound very cynical by quoting this, but it seems a very true to me (and Orban) right now.

Laws without enforced consequences are merely suggestions.

This probably violates a bunch EU human rights, but what is the EU gonna do? They really need to find tools because freezing the cashflow is obviously not stopping him.

Yes they have said so themselves

Not gonna happen buddy

These guys have even less power than the icc unfortunately

The legislation targets everything sold in the eu, no matter where the seller is from

Even if he wasn't self employed I wouldn't want anybody I care about near a driver like that.

I thought what a weird choice for an image for this article, but turns out the article itself doesn't have one and the image is actually the video thumbnail of a video with 'International headlines from ABC News'.
