This chapter engages with novel evidence from parliamentary debates in an illiberal regime. Key Hungarian partisan elites continue to attack democratic actors in and beyond Hungary. Yet, political institutions in Hungary retain the potential to offer spaces for discursive resistance. The Hungarian Parliament between 2015 and 2021 was no exception. The future of the EU debates point to the contestations and preferences of coalition and opposition actors vis-à-vis the EU. This applies despite the curtailment of the opposition's rights in Hungary and the disproportionate access of governing actors to the parliamentary pulpit. The chapter analyses 18 debates on the future of the EU, focusing specifically on the dilemmas of democracy and differentiation both in terms of the EU's institutional set-up and policy process, as well as sentiments of forms of dominance prevailing within the EU. The analysis finds that Hungarian parliamentarians have overwhelmingly followed the executive's anti-EU rhetoric, with the opposition making limited use of the discursive space provided by the procedural rules, appealing to symbols and feelings rather than reason, and asking the EU institutions to do the impossible. The debates contributed to Hungary moving away from envisioning the EU as a polity with a constitutional potential.
