> The UK left screaming, huffing and smashing the door

Huh? This is your characterization of a referendum on membership?

Well, actually it is a good characterization of the leave campaign, which won the vote and thus a valid analogy.

If that's a valid characterization of the internal debate, of what concern is that to the EU? So far, I don't see the UK screaming, huffing, or smashing doors with respect to the EU.

well, look at "Leave" campaign: racist party [1] spreads false information about almost every aspect - "let's fund NHS instead" was false and Farage almost instantly rejected that it was a proper promise; said that UK lost their borders, which is false - UK is not a member of Shengen zone;

there were constant phrases from "Leave" party that relationship with EU is abusive, UK is like slave.. it doesn't look for me like intelectual debate with polite arguments.

It's an equally good characterization of the remain campaign as well, so I'm not sure that's a good argument...
