I've thought that many times, but nobody said it couldn't get worse. It's also probable it will get even worse out of Europe, as there will be no supranational power to grant consumer rights to anyone, but I guess that's what the Brits wanted.

Are you kidding? Because power is now transferring from Brussels to the UK we'll have far more control over our laws, we'll be able to boot out MPs now that try to fuck around and push through mass surveillance and censorship because we've preserved our sovereignty. Had the remain vote won it would be far more difficult to counter the super state that Junker and his beauracrats are trying to establish with the help of British MPs.

Oh, do you trust British MPs? That new mass surveillance plan is 100% British. Brits installed CCTV cameras everywhere all by themselves, and the UK is one of the very few places in the world where you can go to jail if you write an offensive tweet. So the british people has dumped the idea of a supranational state, but nobody said that would automatically translate into more freedom for the average guy.

I don't trust them in the slightest, but the fact is, because we rejected the EU outright we will have powers to oust them if they screw us around now wheras if the remain side won they would give over more and more power to Brussels and get themselves put in unelected positions where they could put these laws on us.
