Re: A question

It could be, but it would mean that businesses in the UK would find it very difficult to do business with Europe.

The UK could repeal the EU DP laws (RIPA is a good example of this, it has been rejected by the EU courts and the ECHR several times as being illegal / breaking human rights doctrines) and sent back to the UK Parliament for re-working. Post Brexit the UK government said STFU EU, we'll implement it anyway, even if it breaks human rights conventions in the EU.

That alone will make it hard to do business in Europe post Brexit, if the UK government also castrates data protection law in favour of allowing big corporations to exploit its sheep voters citizens, then there will be next to no chance of UK businesses being able to effectively do business in Europe.
