I don't want that at all

Anyway one of the assets of the EU is that is exceedingly unlikely to come up with anything from either the extreme right or the extreme left. Because so many countries, all with different governments, are involved in a consensus building process the results are overwhelmingly centrist. So it is a great insurance policy against such unpleasantness.
Most UK law doesn't come from the EU anyway (otherwise the House of Commons would be pretty pointless and inactive)
