People can't say no to the EU. That's such a common misconception on HN. The EU has a body it lyingly calls a parliament, which doesn't get to decide what laws are proposed or passed. It's more like an upper house that can only slow down or veto legislation, which is why it fills up with political nobodies who either just cheerlead for the EU or want to see their countries leave it. It's not like they can do anything else. So people say no and they just bring it back again, or get activist judges to discover that it was legal all along. It's not like voters can kick them out.
