I agree, and even if it could I don't think it should.

But there also should be some kind of mechanism to deal with members whose interests no longer align with the rest of the EU.

Not necessarily kicking them out or punishing them because they are out of line, but cutting funds seams reasonable. We get that money for specific reasons, and if they are not spent to meet those goals they should no longer be handed out.
