    Britain would be throwing a lot more away by leaving the EU than just free trade. The Charter on workers rights and ECJ are part of the EU treaties. Britain would in effect be going back to pre war Britain. Cameron will have to start convening a parliament and writing a new constitution for a new UK.


    That might make Labour relevant again . No way would the public let go of workers rights. It is not like women's rights will somehow go back to what they were before they entered the EEC. New Constitution? They never had one, well, written Constitution

    I highly doubt even the Conservatives would dare to abolish existing legislation

    Well Britain is in a bind. The house of Lords removes the commons as the supreme law of the land while the EU offers the workers charter which annoys the hell out of conservatives. Pulling out of Europe means those zero hour contracts being normalcy in the UK. Really bad for the average Briton and really bad for the trade unions. Watch this space.
