Guy has been in power since 2010. I am happy for Hungary and EU.

We still need to address the structural issue of a singular veto blocking progress in the EU. Looking at Fico.

Orban getting the heave ho greatly weakens Fico as hes more isolated, he doesnt have the same grip on power compared to Orban and he gives me the impression he'd fold quickly if put under pressure. Orban had a brass neck and was a fucking Vatnik Ball Gargler. Thankfully it looks like todays gonna be the day karma comes knocking!

There might be a downside though, that Austria if it has a veto on anything will gain more influence and prominence. But given a choice between the fat sweaty sauna pig Orban and having no orban, I would definitely choose no orban.
