Britain can choose to refuse EU directives at any time, it just means we don't get any of the various benefits Scotland cannot decide to hold a referendum at any time or refuse laws made in London. As for your classic BREXIT "unelected" argument may I point out that these "unelected" commisoners are selected by the  elected governments of the different countries. Our cabinet is not personally chosen by the populace. I am also quite surprised that you do not see the fairly obvious reason for having a unified code and administration for human rights (and don't mention the UN I know all about that from a member of the UN security force). As for your latin phrases they add very little to the discussion and seem to exist solely to make your points seem more valid (well you have to find validity somewhere if you're BREXIT). Secondly I think you'll find that I never claimed that the facts put forward by independent bodies like the BBC or university of fiscal studies were true solely because a lot of people agree (if you looked at results more didn't (or rather didn't look)) I said it because they are generally reliable sources and certainly know a hell of a lot more about the economy then pretty much anyone else. As for your claims that I'm just going along with the government (possibly because of my sources) I'd like to remind you that being an authority on something should be worth a hell of a lot more than the person who's best at shouting. (I don't give a damn about what the government says I'm making my own decisions with the information given and a decent understanding of sources)
