What should be a higher authority in Poland? Polish law or EU law.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So at what point do you think the UN or EU should intervene in a individuals countries issues? There's has to be some sort of collective 'policing' of individual countries or every country would have a Kim jong at their helm eventually.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That sounds like dodgy ground. Who polices the police?

It's this kind of thinking that gave us Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope, that's what happens an individual state overrides international law

The Polish and Hungarian govts are clearly not inline with the EU and how it's governed

Poland hopefully just going through a phase and the people of Poland don't deserve to be abandoned

Orban a nasty dictator and Hungary should be kicked out of the EU imo

There are no mechanisms to expel a member state. Rights and privilages can be suspended but there's no procedures for 'kicking out' a member.

I’m surprised how patient the EU has been with Poland and Hungary, they’ve got some outdated beliefs when it comes to homosexuality and not to mention their issues with racism.

But they didn't really have a mechanism for a state being dumb enough to leave either

a50 was actually designed in the event of a member being subject to a military coup and/or a dictatorial regime arising.

Interesting

I'd assume Orban gets continued support from Putin and it's preferred for Hungary to cause trouble for the EU rather than just storm out

Nope. That was the cold war, capitalism vs Communism, threat of nuclear proliferation and terrorism 9/11 that gave us Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yet you probably can’t give an example of an EU directive that you disagree with.
