Giedrius Narmontas It is not so much EU interference in UK internal matters I am talking about, but how to handle UK breaking UK-EU treaties. Phil is often complaining why the EU is not being more aggressive towards the UK. I think he misses the bigger picture.
What would happen if the EU persuades the court case, putting more pressure on? What would it gain? Short term, nothing. Johnson and his crew would love the conflict, while the DUP would use it as ammunition to prove the point that the Northern Irish protocol is not working to increase its support in the next NI election.
On the other hand, what happens if the EU just waits for a couple of more months? In the next NI election, Sinn Fein most likely will take the majority, and by that, gain massive control over NI matters, especially custom controls (which are currently blocked by the DUP). So the problem literally sorts itself out for the EU, NI will happily implement the protocol and London can only watch while to parts of the Union (Scotland and Northern Ireland) will be more loyal to the European Union than to the UK.
And the EU does not even have to make its own hands dirty, simply the forces inside the UK will accomplish everything it needs.
