      It looks like theyre supposed to have a right to vote whatever they understand that they should vote. The fact that they are banned when they do so seems contradictory

        It does not, considering the suspension of voting rights is a process every member has agreed to existing.

        A member state who goes rogue, who acts in the interest of foreign nations and not in the interest of the collective can, should and must have its voting rights suspended. The protection and continued existence of the union takes precedence over any individual nation’s voting rights.

        There is no contradiction here. Suspending voting rights exists explicitly because there is no right to vote for whatever you want.
