Contributing sentiments towards policy:

84% : "He [Trump] has a very clear vision ...
57% : Orbán, a man unconstrained by principle, typically trades vetoes for EU funds and favours for his country.
57% : Orbán plainly enjoys ruffling EU feathers.
53% : He takes charge of the EU on 1 July.
52% : Last month he welcomed Xi Jinping to Budapest, praising China as a "pillar of the new world order" - even though the EU regards Beijing as a systemic rival and the Xi-Putin alliance as a strategic threat.
45% : Yet how dismaying, too, as new incarnations of 20th-century fascism stalk the continent and the world burns, that the EU should find itself in thrall to a man who both exploits and despises it.
40% : He recently cut a deal with Vladimir Putin on Russian energy supplies, ignoring EU sanctions.
37% : Given his pro-Russia, pro-China leanings, opposition to military aid for Ukraine and EU enlargement, and long-running, financially penalised defiance of Brussels' judicial, civil rights and media standards, it could be bloody - and expensive.
33% : Orbán had kind words for another of the EU's least favourite people after paying court to Donald Trump in Florida.
32% : The EU was to blame, he said.
