I suspect a lot less Brits will blame the EU after Brexit because it will dawn on us that the EU was never the real problem and most of the problems the UK faces are down to it's own making.
The UK for decades have been blaming the EU for all the wrongs in the UK and taking credit for all the good the EU does, after Brexit and assuming the UK leaves the EU, the only blame game will squarely be on the UK and I suspect thats where the real fear is for goverment and to a less degree, the smart euroseptics.
I say that because before Brexit, they've had it easy with using the EU as a scapegoat, good luck to them trying to do that after Brexit, in other words, Brits are very likely going to refocus in other areas on where the real problem is in the UK and that is a bit too close to goverments in the country which I doubt they are going to like.
Brexit is also likely going to be a tough time for euroseptics in the UK, in or out of the EU, I think they will have a real fight on thier hand because Brexit has shown that they are a threat that needs dealing with where before Brexit, they ware just some loons ranting and raving on the side, that will likely mean pro EU folks in the UK are likely going to give euroseptics a much tougher time now and it wont matter if we are in the EU or not, in other words, they have crossed that line with Brexit.
As for the EU, they really shouldn't give the UK an extension unless it's for a very good reason that resolves Brexit once and for all like another public vote, otherwise it will be just wasting time.

@mididoctors Thats pretty much it, it's the EU or nothing for European countries because with how the world is shaping up, European countries are going to get sidelined if we don't get closer together.
As you say, the EU isn't perfect by a long shot but it can be a lot better if EU members work together to make it work better, beside, whats the alternative, no EU? then what, all that will happen is that the US and China will be running global things and that will mean global laws, rules and regulations, at least with the EU, we have a big say on all that, without it, we have little to none.
Brexiteers are pretty short sighted on these kind of things and maybe the UK needs the hardest of Brexit to wake up to that reality.
