If you look back to the 80s and 90s, you would find the UK at the centre of writing the EU's rules. Purely personally, I think the failure came at the time of Maastricht, when we should have had a referendum with a question along the lines of ""Are you happy with a customs union///free trade area or would you like to proceed towards financial and political union?"

Spot on.

Hardly conspiracy theory. Just a basic summary of how Brexit happened. Most people didn't even consider Europe a significant issue pre-referendum.

I don't disagree with most EU regulation @ExpulsoCorona . The UK wrote most of the food hygiene book and we had already banned most animal testing for trivial and minor purposes long before the EU followed suit. I really wonder where the notion that we were following along blindly came from. It was malicious though.

If that were the case more Brexit voters would be able to tell us which EU regs they wanted to change.
