But the UK isn't really a democracy, is it? One branch of the government is elected, but not in any true representative manner. One of the decent things about the EU is that it can moderate the pack of howling wolves about 20% of the electorate voted for. If they were freed from all the conventions of Europe human rights would be out the window, the death penalty would be reintroduced and we'd be ever more beholden to the mob of crims in the Square Mile.
