    • 2016 September 24, Adam Lebor, “Hungary likely to reject European Union refugee quota”, in The Independent:
      Hungary may be resisting the decision-makers in Brussels, but, for now, nobody is talking about a "Huxit" – a Hungarian exit from the EU. The referendum is not legally binding, nationally or internationally.
    • 2017 May 20, Jan-Werner Müller, “Hungary: The War on Education”, in The New York Review of Books:
      When they joined the Union, Eastern European citizens thought they were finally safe from authoritarianism. In theory at least, that leaves more room for outsiders to pressure the government. An exit from the EU, or Huxit, is an empty threat, and Hungarians do not want to be the black sheep of Europe.
    • 2020, Jan-Werner Müller, “What, If Anything, Can the EU Do?”, in János Mátyás Kovács, Balázs Trencsényi, editors, Brave New Hungary: Mapping the “System of National Cooperation”, Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, →ISBN, page 327:
      Neither law nor political theory can proceed on the basis of measures of popularity – but it is worth remembering that approval ratings for (and trust in) the EU remain among the highest in Hungary and Poland.32 Huxit or Poxit do not appear to be credible threats at this point.
