    There is no contradiction here. Suspending voting rights exists explicitly because there is no right to vote for whatever you want.

    Whats even the point of voting then?

      To see what the majority of voters want, not pander to one or two of them only.

      To arrive at a mutual consensus. That’s what the point of voting has always been.

      Suspending a malicious actor’s voting rights does not violate this. In fact, it is required to do so. See the paradox of tolerance which goes into some more detail.

            Your incapacity to read is worth of note. Not in a single word i did support Hungary (who are not nazis afaik, but i may be wrong. Nazis are more like Azov in Ukraine, or Israel), the point in debate was the voting system. Not even the content of what was being voted was discussed

          “historycal”

          Don’t you have a munitions dump that you need to clean up? Why don’t you fuck off and take that group of shitstains you call an army with you. In the meantime, the grownups are talking, Boris.
