Can the UK do something like that i.e. get the best terms possible from the EU and then put that to a vote? That was already supposed to be the case. David Cameron, as then-Prime Minister, went to the EU with as strong a mandate to seek substantial change as any British leader was ever likely to receive. Because of the imminent referendum, he also had as strong a negotiating position as any British leader was ever likely to have. The deal he came back with was regarded as underwhelming by a large part of the population, with nothing fundamental really changing much in the long term. That probably convinced quite a few moderates that their first preference, reforming a less than ideal EU from within, was never going to happen, and we know the rest of the story.
