> Personally, I think, they should have made the Brexit much smoother
_How_, though? It's hard to see how much more accommodating the EU could have been without fundamentally compromising itself.

The UK has multiple times tried to ask for terms that violated previous agreements and that was refused.
The pain for the UK is entirely self-inflicted. It was clear from the start it was a foolish idea. It's clear now it was a foolish idea and it'll continue to be abundantly clear it was a mindboggingly foolish idea from the start.
The EU decided to force the currency issue with their largest economic contributor, and imo chose to die on that hill. The EU has threatened to hold Britain 'accountant able' by being intentionally obtuse and treating to impose artificial barriers for new agreements.
The britts do the same thing, it's politics.
Wait, what? The UK has a perpetual opt-out for the euro, and the euro was not a significant issue in the Brexit vote.
