Well we've learned it's very complicated to get out of the EU, and even harder when the UK has minority governments & nobody agrees.

The EU is a single market, meaning trade and capital flows freely between EU members without restrictions, it also has its own currency.  EU citizens can also travel, immigrate, and work freely anywhere in the EU.   Getting out of that means Britain having to set up their own agreements with every EU country & that's very complex, and all the EU member countries have to agree with Britain's plans, and then UK minority parliament has to agree.

Are you saying because exit is very complex all EU members are trapped forever inside the EU?

I think it is time for a sober second look now that they know it isn't going to be simple, the EU is not going to roll over and it will probably be far more expensive and disruptive to the economy than Brexit cheerleaders led them to believe.
