A lot of people in the US bitch about the "Feds" and talk about "states rights". Same in Canada, same in Australia.
That doesn't mean that secession is feasible for any of those states.
The EU is only 50-60 years old (depending on where you draw the line). It's the result of the worst war in human history. That war also resulted in the decolonization by European states of areas outside Europe.
The UK lost its independence when it won the war. The EU is the best result of that war and now the UK believes it can refight the issues of the post-war world.
