I mean, that's true of all members of the EU though right? You either agree to the terms of membership, or you don't. At least the EU has representatives to vote on things, and there are certainly "optional" parts of being a member (e.g. adoption of the Euro).
In order for there to be any kind of compromise the EU members would have to agree to it first, and I doubt they would be willing. The EU wouldn't really work properly if member states could just reject their decisions. It's a bit like state governments vs the federal government in America.
