It's true that they don't make much sense and that they often harm the consumer, but I vote in my regional politicians and in theory can vote them out if they impose standards I don't like.

One of the problems with Europe was the perceived lack of democratic control coupled with the dishonesty from anti_EU campaigners about things like straight bananas.

The problem is that unless the bad regulation is hurting everyone a lot the regulations will be around for 10-50yr after you vote them out.
