• 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.

  • brexit essentially sheds a layer of bureaucracy

    I think your point about shedding unnecessary bureaucracy is a legitimate one. There is always a tricky balance between having checks and balances to protect society and not tying every element of life in knots.

    That said, why does Brexit actually shed layers of bureaucracy? We will still need to comply to most if not all the regulations. In many cases have we not just in-sourced a whole load of admin that was previously being spread across all member countries? - which sounds decidedly ineffecient.

  • But it'll be British Bureaucracy(tm) rather than EU bureaucracy. Which is obviously better, for some reason.
