The entire point of the EU is to form consensus for the betterment of Europe. Different opinions are important but create friction. Agreement, yes sometimes against ones own opinion, is necessary to strengthen the EU. Individuals in an alliance that regularly strive against agreements and consensus are hurting the alliance, hurting Europe.

If consensus is apparently not desired we can go back to the European patchwork where the rules change significantly every 100km and doing trade is 10x harder.




Sadly the UK took that hit for the others, making the disadvantages of leaving very clear. So these guys will continue staying in the tent while pissing inside of it, sadly. But sooner or later a reckoning will happen, either in Europe or in their own countries.
