This is precisely the argument I used on friends before the original vote.
Now of course if the EU had actually cut a bit of slack to the members and
Mr Cameron, when he went over none of this nastiness would have happened.

The problem is that there isn't much slack in the “four freedoms” of
EU membership. Also, one of the biggest 'reasons' for leaving
(immigration from within the EU) was actually already manageable by
the existing rules and another, the laws thing isn't actually a real
world problem to anyone I know?

I
think whatever happens to the UK unless the EU stop insisting the complete
freedom of movement between vastly different economies is going to carry on
lots more member will be ****ing off.

Ironically, I think there is a good chance many of the issues will be
resolved in any case (if we leave or not) because they would want to
stop others leaving and the only way they can do that is by changing
stuff before they do (or threaten to).
