Would you change your brexit vote?

The UK was on the losing side of votes for new laws about 2% of the time in the last 20 years. We abstained 3% which means 95% of the time we were happy with the laws.

We were also a very powerful voice in shaping the laws, hence 'winning' so often.

does that include all the other regulations ? ? ? and agreements ? ? ?

EU regulation is a law, so yes. I don't know what you mean by agreement. A trade agreement?

when i say Law and Regulations,

I work with the WAHR and TWAHD, while its a regulation, a police officer is hardly going to come and arrest me for not filling out a Risk assessment and complying with the Regulation

not to mention freedom of movement of labour,child benefits for migrant workers and of course the fishermans woes

ref agreements, we make agreements with the EU over various things, didnt they tell us the motor on hoovers had to be more energy efficient, Fridge / freezers / kettles / hairdryers ( the list goes on ) had to be more efficient

I've googled WAHR and TWAHD but I still have no idea what they are. When you say they are a regulation, are they EU regulations?

Why is it a bad thing for hoover motors, or anything else, to be more energy efficient? Nobody was going to confiscate your old stuff, and the new ones will work just as well - if not better because of advances in technology. Making appliances more energy efficient will save us all money. You've named one of the better things the EU has insisted on.

Throughout our thorough reviews process, we consistently find that a vacuum's power rating has little impact on suction. Instead, a combination of factors, including motor and cylinder design, whether the bag or bin is full, whether the filters are regularly cleaned and the shape of the vacuum head can all affect how good a vacuum cleaner is at its job. The 1,400w AEG Ultracaptic Animal has the most powerful suction of all the vacuums we've tested to date, outperforming 2,200w machines.

A wattage rating isn't always an indicator of what's being drawn from the plug socket, either; we've seen 2,200W rated vacuums draw less than 1,100w, and 1,000w cleaners exceed their rating by up to 200w. Power draw will depend on the power setting and suction mode of a cleaner, if it has them, as well as motor wattage.

The hoover / fright etc were examples of a agreement

WAHR and TWAHD

appolgises, i often use the acronym, as i use it in work and the people i use it with of course know what it means

The Work at Height Regulations 2005
The Temporary Work at Height Directive

both part of the European Council Directive 2001/45/EC

I'm not really sure where you're going with this. You're just naming things - are you against them? Do you think safety at work is a bad thing? You say you wouldn't be arrested if you filled in the form wrongly but I am quite sure you'd be in trouble if you hadn't and then an employee was badly injured or died. And quite rightly, in my opinion. You perhaps don't need to fill in a form to keep people safe but unfortunately there are employers who will dangerously cut corners if they could get away with it.

So energy efficiency and safety at work. Any other ghastly intrusions from Europe that we can do away with?

but a UK citizen does , this is my point

It's the same situation but at different scales.
