We already basically had that. There was essentially no onerous responsibilities on individuals to be in the EU. Sure we had to give the EU money, but we also got money and I’m pretty sure that it was coming in more than it was going out.
On an individual citizens level, essentially there was no downside and huge amount of upside.
Have you tried going to France lately, it’s a nightmare, it used to be that you would just drive up to the little passport kiosk and some French guy would barely glance at you and wave you through.

I’d prefer the complete opposite of only Brussels telling us how to live and the Tories fucking off forever.

I don’t think Brussels ever trying to make me do anything, or change my life in any noticeable way.
The Tories on the other hand not so much.

Hold on now, the EU had given us our rules on annoying things like keeping our water clean, allowing citizens to move around, and human rights.
How are we meant to exploit people and the environment being told to live like that?
In fact, the UK has been strong armed into over 52,000 laws!

Look, they’re irritating things like reducing pollution, stopping our packaging from containing hazardous chemicals, keeping working hours fair, protecting temporary workers rights, banker regulation… how are the Tory government supposed to fuck everyone over with all these in place?
