- jason0597 7y agoSo much for "we get to write our own laws" as per the Brexiteers. We'll just copy paste EU laws! I wonder how long it will take for those laws to be removed
- blibble 7y agowhat exactly did you expect on day 1: a complete redesign of hundreds of thousands of pages of laws? over time UK law will diverge from EU law (in the same way that US law diverged from UK law after 1776)
- Barrin92 7y agoUK law won't diverge from EU law if the consequence is loss of access to or friction with the European common market. The difference between the UK and the US in your comparison is that the US turned into the world's largest economy and sole superpower. The UK's economy is smaller than that of California. Realistically you can only write your own laws if you're the top dog.

- lenkite 7y agoWe still follow several British laws in India 70+ years after independence. Unless, there is a demonstrable political benefit, old laws generally stay on the books.
