I am much for 3-strikes here.
The EU doesn’t have a constitution [1], simply enabling treaties [2].
The solution would be in ratifying a constitution.

Careful. A party in power will seek to nullify issues by putting forward and then defeating sham bills.

That certainly doesn't prevent politicians from voting for unconstitutional laws.
At that point you no longer have a legislative body, but an advisory council to whomever it is that decides what votes are and aren’t punishable. (See: Iran, China, the Roman Principate, early parliamentary monarchies.)
They’re not. They’re discussing it. Even if they pass it, it’s subject to court review.
This is exactly what happened with the Data Retention Directive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive
>According to the Data Retention Directive, EU member states had to store information on all citizens' telecommunications data (phone and internet connections) for a minimum of six months and at most twenty-four months, to be delivered on demand to police authorities.
First passed: March 15, 2006
Came into force: May 3rd, 2006
The law was introduced in Romania, but a year later the constitutional court struck it down. In 2011 the European Commission sued Romania for not implementing the law and fined them for it. This forced Romania to sign a new law in 2012, which was also declared unconstitutional in 2014.
>On 8 April 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union declared the Directive invalid
And the kicker is that the UK has tried to implement a similar law domestically two more times.
