'Leave' or 'Stay' in the referendum? UK has to implement GDPR either way

Re: A better referendum

Of all the claims I have heard so far, accusing the EU of providing oversight of anything is the most far fetched.

Did you read the actual article?

It's about how we would deal with the fallout of implementing something that is a direct result of EU oversight of the DPA.

There is also oversight of basic human rights in the form of the ECHR, which whilst not technically an EU body, comes as part of being a member state of the EU.

My point is this; those who wish to be out of the EU either have ulterior motives (e.g. are very rich and stand to become richer, or wish to do naughty things with less regulation), or fall prey to facile arguments that do not stand up to scrutiny, either because they do not bother to think them through, or because they have been force-fed them so much by those with the ulterior motives (for example, the mainstream UK press which has been recognised as the most right-wing in Europe).
