    Makes no sense. Why replace being ruled from afar in Westminster to being ruled from Brussels?

      Perhaps because unlike the current situation with England, there’s actually a net positive effect of affiliation with the EU.

      Besides, the whole “ruled” thing was an emotive term used to goad a poorly informed electorate into barely passing an advisory referendum.

        Ruled is not an emotive term. EU creates the regulations in Roman civil law. The UK is a common law country.

        Civil law was literally overruling common.
