The worst thing you can do is draw a line in the sand, make a threat (Article 7), and then don't go through with it when it's crossed. I'd say the increasing East/West divide is a bigger problem for the EU than Brexit.
What major win exactly? Poland is about to turn into a undemocratic dictatorial state ruled by the PiS party (voted by 19% of adult population, with many regret) The PiS party itself is ruled by a single guy, Lech Kaczyński, any negative voice within their party gets removed, by now he only has Yes men running around him..
The party is reforming all aspects of life in the country, All government and semi government agencies and even the media have been reformed, any non party member is removed from any office, director, advisory position, the media is now only showing pro PiS news, and the newspapers and tv replicate propaganda level of the soviet union times.
The only block still in their way of absolute control was the courts, which have judges voted on by other judges, from now on however all head judges, and even minor judges in all courts can be freely removed and replaced on a whim by the PiS party.
On top of this the focus point of the PiS party is tradition, Catholicism and absolute control. They even recently banned the ability to get the day after pill, they completely banned any form of abortion, even if your baby is already dead, or if you will die if you keep the child, also if you are raped you cannot abort.
They are also moving to rewrite the Polish constitution to make a irreversible effect to the country.
After their reforms it will be impossible for any new democratic free election, because they will also hold all power over the voting process, the counting and the judges deciding if the vote was democratic..
Why should EU NOT draw a line in the sand?
