Yes, but it's easier to influence politicians in your country than in the EU. It's easier to influence politicians in your county council than in your country. It's easier to influence politicians in your town hall than in your county council.

Prior to the referendum, I met my local member of parliament to try to convince her to vote against the Investigatory Powers Bill.

She seemed nice, and did eventually (albeit briefly) lead a splinter party.

But it didn't stop the Bill becoming an Act.
