What EU really needs to do is reform the consensus / veto decision-making system (and likewise for NATO, and UN bodies...). Transactional bargaining, trading disconnected issues for each other, just encourages people like Orban (who has enough majority in parliament to do what he wants, regardless of impact to hungarian economy). Meanwhile suspending voting rights would be a better step in the right direction.
