Make sure that you tie economic benefits to a country with support for a specific party.

It's what Trump offered with promising economic benefits for Hungary if Orban won.

(Then again, it's what the EU did in offering economic hardship and withholding of funds if the wrong party won in Hungary, so that's not really any different. Not for the first time. The EU likes to meddle in its constituent countries' politics on behalf of the "important countries".)
