As an American, it's tough not to imagine Sp5 at the Continental Congress, talking about the economic disaster that the colonies will suffer if they dare displease Great Britain.
Some things in life are more important than a temporary hit to GDP, or even the terrible torture that is roaming charges.
More like I'd be at the South Carolina Secession Convention, saying that limiting the expansion of slavery in the West was not worth breaking the Union, and that bad things will happen with secession.
But ya, because the EU is just like George III taxing the American colonies without any representation in Parliament. Does the UK have representation in the European Parliament? Does it have an effective veto in the European Commission?
