    If they are existing members, they have already proven to fulfill the requirements. Hence it is theoretically easy for them to rejoin 🤷

    Having a system where existing states can regress on vital criteria that were necessary to join with no real risk of expulsion just creates a system of impunity that enables veto abuse.

    But clearly the problem isn’t the veto power, but that the system allows for such regression to happen in the first place.

    Removing the veto power just enables for that impunity to fester and destroy the EU from within.

      “Theoretically easy” lol.

      Nothing in the EU is easy, especially with the Veto power.


      They will Veto anything that wants to remove them. So the EU will literally have to disband to kick them out.

      And if they wanted to rejoin, and the Veto was still in place, other countries would probably Veto them joining again.

      I’m genuinely unsure if you have no idea what you’re talking about, or if you’re trolling or misguided, the Veto power is a big issue in the EU and is to a degree destroying it, because the EU can’t act unless literally everyone agrees.

        The corresponding EU treaty article explicitly says that the country affected can’t veto it. Anything else would be obviously stupid.
