That's the whole problem with EU: it is not transparent and nobody can figure out who has how much say in the decision making. Vertically, it is an elitist project. Horizontally, the authority is distributed very unevenly between individual countries and central bodies. It was only a matter of time before voters would express their discontent. They already did a few times rejecting the Lisbon Treaty, but the politicians shoved it down their throats anyway. And the inevitable happened.

Similar problems buried the Soviet Union. A lot of people are nostalgic, but most don't miss it.
