Poland will not leave the EU and that will be a problem: The Economist

Poles are among the greatest supporters of the European Union on the continent, which is why any party going to the elections with the slogan of polexit can be compared to the announcement of a manifesto about melting puppies, The Economist weekly wrote in the latest issue, explaining why Poland will not leave the EU.
However, the authors of the article do not see any good in this for the European Community. They believe that if Poland stays with the approach it presents today, it will break the Union from within and may become an even bigger problem for it than Brexit. The weekly magazine called such membership "dirty remain".
“To see dirty membership in action, let's look at Poland. Its Constitutional Court challenged the EU legal order in a ruling on October 7. In a case brought by the Polish prime minister, the Constitutional Tribunal, which is stuffed with allies of the government, ruled that the fundamental parts of EU law do not contradict the Polish constitution. A judgment that was exactly what the government wanted wiped out six decades of European jurisprudence. In short, the EU's highest court is no longer the highest court, at least when it comes to Poland,” the weekly wrote.
