    If only we had some sort of free trade agreement with people who have similar life styles, standards and ideas on democracy. Perhaps our close neighbours, like France, Holland, Germany, (Belgium, Italy at a push, Spain, Portugal, Poland) …

    It’d be even better if we had some sort of shared legislative body so that we could agree those standards.

      We do, it’s called the TCA.

      EU regulations are driven by politics and the 25k lobbyists in Brussels.

      ISO standards are international and designed for efficiency. I think it’s better to follow those personally.
