Your lack of awareness of political and historical context is shocking, and it leads you to make some pretty absurd assertions.
For starters, many of the safeguards we only have because of Europe, came by that route precisely because we were members of an organisation whose primary aim is regulation of these sorts of market mechanisms. And it is because our own government and civil service has allowed itself to be hollowed out, pleading duplication of effort and subcontracting its sovereignty to a supranational body over which we have limited influence, that many of us voted to leave.
These decisions properly belong to a democratic assembly that is accountable to its electors. And, for the record, that is what the Westminster Parliament is. It is not the sort of corrupt, tinpot regime you paint it to be when you absurdly plead that we need protecting from it. If we need protecting from Parliament, then ultimately we need protecting from ourselves. You may have so dim a view of your fellow citizens, but I do not.
