That's an absurd and frankly rather offensive comparison.
Most of those wanting to leave the EU did so for various political, economic and business reasons; but what mattered was leaving the "European Union Of The Cities and Regions". (Yes, that is its official, full title - and note it does not say "Nations"!).
That is not the same as leaving the geographical "Europe" of a polyglot assortment of over two dozen, very different but generally friendly and co-operative, highly-individual nations.
