      Keep on going. The gap is actually slowly closing, as the eastern members economies are growing quickly, partly due to EU support.

        Except hungary but what were doing is kind of like having a full-automatic rifle, pointing it at your foot and just holding down the trigger. Then your buddy(the eu) comes over and starts telling you to stop unloading 200 rounds a minute into your right foot but you just start shouting that its his fault that this is happening. Also did i mention this is at a 200m sprint race where you got a 100m head start and one other competitor(bulgaria) got a 100m set back, and they are still catching up to you? Just a simple analogy to describe the situation /s

          That is honestly a huge part of why this works. The EU has played a big part in making sure that the eastern members have not slipped into becoming dictatorships. (Except Hungary of cause)
