I don't that FOM is the real issue here. The real issue is giving a good deal to a country who left the union because it didn't got exactly what they wanted. That can cause a precedent with countries leaving the union for all sort of spats only to expect the EU to give them a great deal and not being too punitive to them. Think about Scotland and the UK. If Scotland had to leave the Union and the deal given to them is so good that the Scots ends up better off then that would act as an incentive for Wales and Northern Ireland to do the same. crippling the UK's influence and causing instability in the markets which will cause recession. No union would want that
FOM was the main issue for voters.
