6. 2 very basic reasons

1 - It is more interesting to have an "agent provocateur" inside than to struggle from outside. Since day one, GB was more often in opposition trying to impose its ultraliberal dogmatism wich is not really in the rest of Europeans mentality. A part of the problems encountered by UE came from that had an impact on many Europeans giving them the false idea that Europe is an almost derailled organisation, not efficient, not having much utility.

Brexit just made the rest of European countries closely united among themselves. It is enough to see the single and unique voice they are confronting to Ms. May...

2 - GB was the warmest advocate to the Turkish admission. Turkey is a highly strategic geopolitical region with extremly close and strong ties with Russia. This fact on itself is more than enough to not to interfere in a matter that will destroy or at least, postpone the opportunity to have Turkey accepted in UE, far long in the future.

I replied very shortly in a very condensed way, so there is a few shortcuts.

But it gives you the general idea.
