european parliament and clear breaches of the e.u.'s fundamental values. the political party its member of the european people's party and they have friends in commission and in parliament and hungary viktor orban still has a majority behind him in the european parliament though it could look very different. needs a two thirds majority. in the chamber. well he his party the foetus party is a member of the biggest political group in the european parliament the so-called european peoples party so you'd be forgiven to think that it's most likely not going to be a two thirds majority voting to trigger article seven but it's not that easy because here's the thing many within the itself are fed up with what the two orbán is doing don't feel represented and that's why the most likely scenario at the moment is that there won't be any given line by the e.p. p.c. bear with me here a little complicated and often what you have in the european parliament is that the faction says your members or your politicians need to vote one way for a six for example it could say all the members will have to vote against triggering artic

european parliament and she also sees clear breaches of the e.u.'s fundamental values. the political party is member of the european people'sarty and they have friends in commission and in parliament and hungary viktor orban still has a majority behind him in the european parliament though it could look very different. well for more let's cross over now to the e.u. parliament in strasbourg where our correspondent max off one is standing by hello to you max so how likely is it that enough lawmakers will in fact vote in support of those political sanctions against hungary. we know that the parties more of the left are going to vote in favor of starting the procedure we just heard about in this report by catherine martin's so the greens of the social democrats the left parties in general so the question is what is the. own faction going to do with the european people's party conservative party but of course with very different influences depending which country is represented we know for example that the austrian part of that party already said they will vote to trigger the article seven procedure that might tip the scales but

european parliament and clear breaches of the e.u.'s fundamental. the political party member of the european people's party and they have friends in commission and in parliament in hungary viktor orban still has a majority behind him in the european parliament though it could look very different. which way is tomorrow's vote likely to go. it really depends if the e.p. the european people's party which is a part of so or go on as a member of the party makes its members stick to a certain party line in this case it would be against article seven and it's going to be hard to get the two thirds majority now we don't expect that to happen actually just a reminder p.p. is kingmaker here and we expect this evening that the members of the e.p. are given free hand to vote any way they want so according to their conscience if that happens then because it is in trouble because many members of the e.p. p.r. very dissatisfied with the path that the door bun has taken they feel like he's not representing the values not only of the european union but especially of the european people's party and so we expect many o

european parliament and she also sees clear breaches of the e.u.'s fundamental values. the political party is member of the european people'srty and they have friends in commission and in parliament in hungary viktor orban still has a majority behind him in the european parliament though it could very different. all right so that was a report by catherine martin's now max so if article seven is triggered should hungary be worried i mean we've seen a similar case with poland as we mentioned in the report without any consequences what would happen with hungry now. well poland isn't done yet these procedures usually typically take a very long time we're talking about years here and the end is what they call the nuclear option the possible stripping of the e.u. voting rights but that's unlikely because any country could veto that so in the case of hungry poling could veto that or the other way around but still it's a lot of trouble for the government that's in charge has to give a lot of explanations but the main reason probably the main reason why the torben wants to avoid this is that this would get him one step closer possib

european countries have what's called proportional representation. you get as many seats in the parliament as you get percentage vote in the population. the idea is s if 20% of the people believe what you believe as a party you should not just be able to run, but you should be able to participate in the makiking the laws. otherwise, those people aren't represented. it's a kind of idea of, i don't know, democracy. [laughter] because you're not gonna exclude 20% of the people, which you do if the winner takes all, and by the way, in the united states, we do that sometimes. some of the primimaries of the two parties are--if you read that ron paul got x% and romney got y%, then they each get a certain number of delegates. that's proportional representation, and we've had that in elections in the united states, too, but we got rid of it. the europeans have it. so in germany when the die linke party got 12% of the vote, they get 12% of the seats in the parliament. so 12% of the people who are in the parliament are members of a party that believes that germany can do better than capitalism. highly successful, capipitalist economy produces a criticism, and if you get more than 5%, not only do you get your seats-
