What I mean with "idealistic" is that there are no safeguards to deal with these situations, and in my opinion, it's because in the past it was thought that once a state was inside the Union, there would be no need to become anti-union, or sabotage it's working (or there would be safeguards in place already). It's clear now that a member state can go awry, and become no compliant with the EU, ignoring EU institutions and principles. The EU needs safeguard measures for those cases.
