And in those cases I have typically sided with the EU (I'm British).
Data protection laws, anti-trust laws, labour protections, a concerted effort to combat cross-border tax evasion (that the UK ruined by opting not to take part, due to it's enjoyment of being a fucking tax haven) just to name a few.
Seriously, when it comes to laws that protect the average schmuck, the EU is far from perfect but it has been a hell of a lot better than what our own politicians when it comes to looking out for us.
I'd rather be closer to Europe than closer to the US. No question, especially now with that batshit lunatic they have in charge.
