Are they stupid? The UK is headed in the exact same direction.

I can picture a few reasons.

They want to GTFO/move to Europe, but not willing to learn another language, and they're not aware of Ireland's existence.

They have ancestry claims to citizenship and/or other existing links to the UK.

They watched too many British movies/TV shows and think England is nicer than it is.

They're getting jobs in London.

Not every European country is equally easy to move too.
