  1. The Tory makes a false argument that legislation was entered into the House without scrutiny under EU rules. The UK had, at that time, quite a number of elected MEP's whose job it was to ensure good laws were passed. So these laws did most certainly pass parliamentary scrutiny, with an additional option for a UK government veto. The Tories like to act that the EU did things without their consent. This is simply not true. The UK was, in its day, the most influential country deciding exactly what the EU did. Not a single law appeared on the EU statue book without UK approval.
