Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Can't argue with that logic. I suppose we could do a Nelson and turn a blind eye but why go there in the first place? Dumb.

It depends on whether the laws, rules, or regulations are good or not and the consequences of transgressing them.

if laws etc are good, then it may be that they would be or are already in uk books
consequences imposed by or on whom?

Laws etc. develop and change according to developments within a society.
Implemented locally and by various levels and variety of courts.
For me, it seemed sensible to expect a similar standard of "laws" and implementation in Handsworth, Birmingham, London the UK and in Europe.
There is bound to be variation in "implementations" of the laws according to "local" needs.
To me, it seems to be reasonable to have a superior court or structure to review those laws and implementation.

it's a matter of fact that the law tends to lag sociey's mores of the time, which in some ways is no bad thing
however, except in certain areas, there is no one-size-fits-all with regard to law even across the whole of europe (you forgot about the world!)
in specific, i and most others thought it outrageous that echj blocked uk from deporting abu hamza in case he got tortured when he was returned whence he came ...... we should care? ...... in this specific, assuredly not
i also do not think that prisoners serving long (to define) sentences should have the right to vote
there are many other areas where i think uk courts should have the final say over what happens within uk

if that is so, then we most assuredly don't need any interference from europe!

We will have to bypass Europe when we go to the rest of the world.
Bloody long route.

The banks of the River Po and inhabitants sometimes seem similar to Little England.

I think this government should now respect public opinion and have another referendum, when or if they ever negotiate or have any idea what the so-called exit is
and give a full explanation of the likely consequences such a "deal".
Unless of course, we want to be a "country" fawning around the world looking for scraps as TM, Oris, Davies, Fox and the Moggie and cohorts are doing at the moment.
