2. I never mentioned anything about numbers of parties in comparing the US and the UK. You're conflating political sociology with the simple point I made about the supposed lack of sovereignty membership of the EU entails. The simple fact is the will of the people for a government that represents the majority of them is elusive. The UK populace doesn't get it, EU or no EU. No brainer.
3. You're wrong. Many of the iners have given the social (and indirect economic) benefits that follow from hard-won things like the rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights a great deal of thought and will mourn its disappearance with an out vote. Who cares how the EU social provisions came about? It appears you don't appreciate the inalienable rights the EU currently affords you. Again no brainer.
Britons aren't British citizens (there is no set of enshrined constitutional rights or bill of rights), they are subjects of her majesty. They are currently, however, European citizens. I'd think awfully hard about chucking the latter in the trash.
