I find this argument astounding and as if you have no imagination.
I understand people don't like burocracy but by cooperation you eliminate a whole load of duplication. A lot of burocracy exists in moving between systems/standards. Fewer and more refined systems/standards reduce burocracy.
Are you aware how 'direct' democracy actualy pans out in practice? Can you point to nation or state that's found it working well for them? Do you like being able to elect a local police chief and town
jestermayor? I feel it's a layer of personality politics distracting us from thorough examination of the real challenges and what sort of policies would help.

ok I didn't realise I was addressing the oxford union, rather I am making short statements on a casual forum in which people use the word 'stupid' or 'idiot' for those who disagree with them without providing an eloquent followup of evidence using the Harvard system (please visit previous pages on this thread).
breifly speaking, all the remainers admit that there are (drastic) democratic flaws with the eu, brexit essentially sheds a layer of bureaucracy (of course we will have to adhere to some eu regulations but by no means all) and (thankfully) we have a non-left wing government whose ideology is entirely based upon small government - the demolition of bureaucracy is in itself the decentralisation of power, as it prevents overly-zealous technocrats from intervening in society. One piece of evidence for you to suck on is May's wonderful decision to axe the Department for energy and climate change, dispersing power away from government and from the corporate giants like shell and bp or even people like David Cameron's uncle who use all this cuddly green regulation to their advantage.
