Agree, the UK's experience has no doubt been instructive in this regard. The UK was out-classed by a determined EU. Didnt have to turn out that way, but there you go... The UK establishment have basically continued to mirror the EU; and the Tory Party have almost deliberately squandered the unprecedented "Get Brexit Done" voter coalition from the 2019 election... No Euro politician in their right mind is going to want a repeat for themselves...
