So it's not about "which rules we should stop following". It's about sovereignty and the freedom to choose the rules to which we will be bound.

genuine question.

isn't or wasn't that the point of the veto? we also for example didn't join the Euro. (i dont think that was veto though)

I guess what im asking is, did we have the power to be able to not implement rules set by Brussels and choose blindly to follow them by inept governments of the time?
