    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.
