Me, I'm voting Yes for bureaucracy and red tape. It appears to me that while the institutions of the EEA are an opaque and Byzantine mess full of of private fiefdoms, there is, at bottom, a commitment both that things such as the purity of bivalve molluscs and the use of intumescent fire-retardant paint on buildings above a certain height and the use and transfer of personal data should be regulated in the public good. And since the free market is demonstrably bad at regulating such things and since the approach that this country would take absent to EU retarding brake would be to go all out for free market and hang the public, I'm voting yes because I see the alternative as us being in like Flint.
