This seems like the better position imo, not kicking them out entirely but keeping them out of the decision making proces. Problem is, a governments like that will not likely hold back or consider the broader consequences of it’s actions. Maybe even better would be to invest in institutions that prevent a member state’s democracy from slipping into dictatorships, so it will be made impossible for someone to become the next Orbán.
Eh… that is what European funding is for. Strengthen democratic institutions. Anyhow implementing a majority vote instead of the unanimous vote could be a start…
