US envoys sent by Biden persuaded him last week. They said that if he doesn`t comply, NATO won`t defend Hungary in case it is threatened by Russia one day.

They ARE the ruling mob, you big eejit.
No, they are not. There are just actors with strings being pulled by the people you never see or elect, little girl...
Trump decided to pull US troops out of Syria. The invisible ruling scum said no, they stay. So they stayed and are still there...
Did they ask the Irish people for advice about refugees?
If they did, and you said yes you are morons.
If you said no, Ireland is a dictatorship not any better than China or Russia.

Is there anyone in Belgium who wants migrants?
How about in any country on the globe?
Seriously, what do those farmers want?

Ireland is not the USA, nor even the UK. We're neither simple-minded and naive (like so many Americans), nor disinterested like many Brits. Let's take that difference as an example.
Here's a query from Quora where a lot of your naive American brethern hang out:
Are Irish people more politically engaged than British people?
Answers:
Yes. An effect of the single transferable vote and the multiple seat constituency is that it ensures that all shades of opinion get listened to.
Yes. The Irish voting system is fairer and more democratic than the British system which means that the Irish are more invested. They know that their vote counts which is an incentive to think things through a little more thoroughly and work out how to make it count in the best way. Secondly, being a much smaller country it's more personal, more of the population actually know politicians or have been informed about them by family or friends.
I would say that we probably are, if only because of our electoral system, which is far more proportionate and fair, and the ongoing constitutional necessity to hold referenda. The use of the Citizen Assembly is a recent innovation which has broadened political participation. It also seems to produce more measured debate and better results.
Probably more engaged. DEFINITELY significantly more politically savvy, in the majority of cases anyway.
I'll stop there because I honestly don't think you have the attention span for more but I've done my good deed for the day in helping to keep your diminishing brain cells active.

I'd guess that this is perhaps the biggest difference.
That and the different urban/rural split. In Britain it's very uneven.

Hey, Barney, did you ever ask the Irish ruling mafia for migrants?

You still don't understand the difference between NI and the Republic. Barney lives in the North as you were informed many times in the past. It's part of the UK. Back to high school for you. Oh, hang on, you don't have a proper curriculum. Your world history and geography curriculum seems to consist of 'America is awesome, the rest of the worlds sucks!! Yeah!! Go Americans! We're Americans! Yeah!!'

Who gives a damn...a distinction without a difference...

What is the obstacle? I really don't know.
This is why I like debating with you Rich.We don't always agree but I always know that you will come back with a sensible response.
Unlike trolls like Jim(JR),Deepak(Cargo Pants) and especially Jerzy(Pawian), who all avoid a response when they are losing the argument and revert to childish personal insults instead.
I also think some posters on here underestimate your intelligence.They use slurs like
Back to high school for you.
Or
My IQ is not high enough
Yeah....we all knew that.....
Quite pathetic really!

Self-deprecation comes with a rule: Never add to it to make the self-deprecator sorry he said it.
As with sarcasm and guns, handle with caution...

Tusk is trying to lie to farmers and to make them go away. I think this time they are wise to his tricks.
Also, his lie about the continuation of CPL comes to people's attention, that Lasek should watch his back!
What a scum!

I think you are right.
Tusk is a Polish traitor to the EU.

Rich, if you knew anything about European or Polish politics and clearly you don't, you would hate Tusk.
