How is it radically different then?
Because one is a country voting to leave a politico-economic project made up of a huge variety of countries with wildly varying economies, cultures and languages, that has been going for less than 50 years. Another is a country leaving a sovereign state that it's been joined to for well over 300 years, that it shares a language, culture and the entirety of its laws with.
If you can't see how that is radically different then I can't help you. Ofcourse, there's similarities. But it's like saying Venus and Jupiter are similar simply because they're both planets. Yeah, they're both round I guess.
