The vast majority of our domestic laws and 99% of our GDP have nothing to do with the EU, and, of the laws and regulations we sign up to as members (most of which are arrived at by consensus and which nobody in their right minds argues with), we agree with 97% of them. And no law can ever be put into force by "unelected bureaucrats" in Brussels or anywhere else. EU law has be ratified by elected representatives of the member states, and larger states such as the UK have considerable powers of veto. So much for taking back "sovereignty." The conditionality within future trade deals with the UK's being outside the EU would sacrifice just as much "sovereignty" in any case. Sovereignty is a bogus argument and always was. As for the "control" freaks, what they never tell you is that we can never control people leaving. So after we've made our country unattractive to EU members and positively "hostile" to unskilled workers, be prepared for shortages of doctors, nurses, plumbers and electricians and for our cauliflowers and sprouts to rot in the fields. Of course, we'll have more control of our money (unless we adopt the Norway model, that is). It's just that there'll be, by all the analyses we've seen today, a lot less of it.
