I suspect that's a case of wishful thinking. I'm old enough to remember when Kippers were drooling over the alleged likelihood of the Netherlands, Ireland and Hungary leaving the EU.

In other cases, we could change it, but it would be in order to sell to the United States and in some cases like that, our farmers are opposed because it undercuts them.
All of this was evident before the referendum. We said, even in threads on here, about who else you would sell to if you decide to cut out the EU?
Complete self-sabotage. And all the proponents of it still pontificate without any shame about how things should be done now.

Great post. You can take a horse to water but you can't make it think! Changing legislation for the sake of it just increases the cost to taxpayers and business.
