Three pieces of statistical "bullshit" about the UK EU referendum

And how is UK civil servants drafting laws at the behest of elected politicians different from EU civil servants doing so? I note you don’t mention the precedent point. Both are products of similar processes - I’d argue that the EU law ends up being longer and more technical in many parts because of both a more complex drafting process at EU level, and also the need to ensure that it means the same thing in a variety of languages. None of these things is a particularly strong argument for remaining or for leaving the EU imho.
