You'd rather trust the Tories to pass our laws than the collective EU nations to get together and decide on which areas need protection?

No I don't trust the Tories but if they are the ruling party then so be it, eventually the vast majority of idiots who voted them in will come to their senses and vote them out!

So none the EU laws passed bother you, the UK can still make their own laws too anyway but you decided to vote Leave to protect the UK against any future EU laws that could potentially do what? What have the EU done to make you so concerned about the laws they could potentially pass?
 
You do realise there are an awful lot of international laws and treaties we abide by? Shall we pull out of them all?

Of course not, I'm talking about a European State being governed by a European Parliament, mostly biased against the UK, have you forgotten the French farmers burning our lambs? Destroying our Golden Delicious apples in favour of their own?

Do you realise that many of our major laws are not statutes but are in fact Common Law?
 
Lets face it, there were millions of half-wits voting for leave and remain. Ours won because of the humiliating rebuff given by the EU to Cameron whilst on his begging mission. Victory could have been yours with a small pragmatic rule change, similar to being sought by other EU members now.
Leave won because they were influenced by non-dom mega-rich media moguls with their own agenda and a campaign that successfully sold outright lies to the public. There wasn't the need for a referendum except to save the shambolic tory party due to TM's inability and unwillingness to implement the immigration rules at her disposal and Cameron's all round ineptitude as PM and completely misunderstanding the implications of fundamentally changing our "constitution" (sic) on the whim of a not insignificant minority vote but a minority all the same.
We've been lied to. That annoys me more than anything.

Perhaps, as I agree that the Remain Campaign was not as white suited as it ought. However, it wasn't allowed to be.

To use an analogy by Asimov: “When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together”

Have you read his Anthology of Jewish Humour? Very funny!

One side was guilty of over egging the custard, the other told outright lies....also one side had the backing of an extremely right wing biased media.

The Director of the Leave Campaign (Dominic Cummings) admitted that their own research showed that the £350m a week NHS lie (which they knew was an outright lie) was the deciding factor in such a tight result.

Democracy at it's finest.

I object to it ALL. I want our own MPs to make laws for our own Country!

Still can't name one then mate?

tbh I've asked the same question of dozens of Leave voters who've said the same thing as you, but not one could name a single piece of legislation that they actually had an issue with.

It reminds me of the 'what have they done for us' scene in the Life of Brian....

I can honestly say it did not influence me, I just didn't want to be part of a European state that was mainly run by France and Germany!

Maybe not mate, but it did affect the thinking of many, and it was plain wrong.

Many of the adverts used would have failed the advertising code regulations had political adverts not been excluded in 1999.
