It's okay that we clarified that
And for the record: Yes, there is trouble in all countries about the EU. But the perception is that despite all the complaining there is still an overall agreement that the EU is good for Europe and that the continent would be worse off without it.
However, a big part of the British population apparently thinks differently. If you ask for my personal opinion, they suffer from what we call "island mentality". It's part of the British self-conception that they don't need the continent for their well-being. Maybe that's right. I have my doubts about that but hey, I might be wrong. The thing is, though: If they want out, it's okay for me. But that would mean no influence anymore. As Cobol74 said: Like the Swiss.
Switzerland, however, is being percieved as cute and a bit excentric but completely unimportant in the scheme of things. Overstating it a bit, Switzerland to most Europeans is mountains, banks, chocolate, cheese, yodelling and skiing - all very nice but nobody is really bothered by them and they are being considered completely harmless.
I seriously doubt, though, that the British are satisfied with being seen like that, too
