Just to show how delusional I am, according to our sage friend Iains:

The British government has voted against EU laws 2% of the time since 1999.

Official EU voting records show that the British government has voted ‘No’ to laws passed at EU level on 56 occasions, abstained 70 times, and voted ‘Yes’ 2,466 times since 1999, according to UK in a Changing Europe Fellows Sara Hagemann and Simon Hix.

In other words, UK ministers were on the “winning side” 95% of the time, abstained 3% of the time, and were on the losing side 2%.

This is counting votes in the EU Council of Ministers, which passes most EU laws jointly with the European Parliament. [Source: Full Fact]

Of course, that's the bare bones of it. The numbers alone can't suggest the relative importance of each of the laws and they don't include laws that were not passed, in many cases quite likely because we objected. And in no way can the stats be taken to suggest that the laws are impositions over which we've had no influence. In fact, the UK, as one of the largest and most influential member states, plays a significant part in drawing up the laws. Finally, no EU law is ever imposed by decree by unelected officials. Only elected representatives can draw up and pass laws.
