re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

I find it very disappointing that you rate the British government - run by British citizens, who have been elected by British citizens - as being lesser than, and in need of supervision by, a commission of largely foreign civil servants and a parliament (also mostly full of foreigners) which, while elected, has very limited ability to hold the commission to account.

If a British government were to reverse workplace legislation (which is unlikely), then it will have done so with the democratic mandate of the British people. And that, ultimately, is the killer reason for voting out. The British people, and their government, do not need supervision by the European Commisson or anyone else.
