That's both the strength and weakness of the EU. Yeah, we bicker a lot and we have different conflicting ideas and values, but that also means we're not easily susceptible to lobbying. An EU member could be lobbied to but other members will not be easy. American companies have used UK before to influence the EU but they're caught out. But the downside is that Putin has Orban and Hungary in his pockets and undermines the decision making of the union.
