Well, they are somewhat delusional. I don't mind them being happy, so don't tell them the following:

Most of what they think of as "law", such as criminal law or the rules of the road, always were written in the UK.

The "law" that was being written in Brussels (with plenty of UK input) was to a large extend rather specific and trade-related. Yes, it was evil EU legislation that mandated orange juice to contain actual juice from real oranges. Terrible!

All that will remain, though.

You gotta label what's in the bottle! Common quality standards for oranges! Minimum labor standards for those picking the fruit! Common labeling of origin and type of agriculture to ensure labels like 'organic' have meaning! Frictionless trade! Mechanisms to resolve contract disputes across borders! visa-free travel to orange-growing Spain!

Such audacity! Such impervious intervention in our sovereign right to be f'''d over by corporations!
