"You complain that brexiteers blame the EU for what you say is the results of autonamous government actions just after blaming brexit for the same government actions not three paragraphs before." You lost me here. Is there a word missing?
The States belonging to EU are sovereign. So all "directives" by Brussel have to be approved by the States and Government. The associates states have a different status...
The various governments always blamed EU for all unpopular measures, even the one UK initiated and started. EU was never in disagreement with Cameron and Tories. Like them EU is against UNions, consumers protection, minimum wages and social protection. EU agrees that bankers should be exempt to pay taxes (private profits and commun debts), same for big companies, workers and middle classes should be taxed in order to paid police, fire-fighters, hospital and roads.
So yes, the brexiters will discovered (and start to do so) that nothing will change in term of laws and order in UK, as UK won't become a nice social Kingdom.
