@alexpotts6520 Actually, it's not that, it's the government of Hungary that's the problem, the people of Hungary are quite pro EU, which is a surprise that they don't stand up more against Orban. Also, the EU doesn't hate Hungary, it just doesn't like how the government is abusing its position with the veto rule and backsliding on democracy. But, part of the blame is on the people of Hungary, because they are not really doing anything to change the situation for the better and giving Orban a free hand to do what he wants.

To be fair, Cyprus is a small country, so it's got to be realistic on the voice it can have. I do agree that the Euro zone crisis could have been handled better and I do feel that we need more direct democracy in the EU, either by shifting more powers away from the EU Commission towards the European Parliament and/or merging the Commission and President together and having it directly elected by the people. There were talks recently that this is what they wanted to do on the next reforms, but we'll see.

When it comes to the EU and Eurosceptics, I can understand wanting change to it, but I can never understand those people that want to abolish the project, that wouldn't serve any purpose but to make us weaker, which we can't really afford with big powers like the US and China knocking on our door. What we should want is wanting changes so the EU can function better for all our interest of its members and its people. As for Eurosceptics, you do get a sense that a lot of their views are being misled when it comes to the EU project, either by twisting of the truth or outright lies on the EU project, especially from the right wing media and right wing political parties, a lot of that led to Brexit in the UK from the right of the media and political side, and clearly most of what they told were lies, and many Brits are starting to wake up to that, basically, a lot of the problems Brits were blaming the EU for, were actually problems the UK government created, something that is becoming evident outside the EU for the UK. I do get a sense of the same thing happening in many European countries from the right, and this is undermining democracy, after all, a democracy is only as good as the information and facts the people get, as well as the public taking part in the voting process, this is where I'm seeing a lot of problems in a lot of western countries, including the US, too much of the narrative is being all twisted up that most don't know what's true or not, and now it becomes an echo chamber of who can shout the loudest that is more likely to win. I do also feel that reforms are needed to the EU to reduce the arguments that Eurosceptics use, the easy one is democracy, shift more powers away from the EU Commission towards the European Parliament and/or merge the EU Commission/President together and make it directly elected. I am also wondering if new laws are needed on the press, I'm all for freedom of the press, but clearly, we are seeing too few rich individuals that have too much power over what the people hear, especially on the right, Rupert Murdoch once said, he doesn't like the EU because they don't listen to him whereas he likes the UK government because they bend to his will, if you have a media that's too powerful, it can undermine democracy, and as I said above, democracy is only as good as the facts the people get.
