Well, yes, but with a near 100% agreement on the enemy, and doing so to resist what an enemy was attempting to achieve. That is somewhat different to the situation where some-48% of the population think it is being inflicted on them by the other some-52% against all their best interests...
You can't help thinking maybe people ought to understand that there's a price to be paid for being dependent on the good offices of your neighbours.
And there is a price to be paid if you generate ill-will in your neighbours. It will not make trade deals easier to arrange if the UK appears to be incoherent.
