Are you suggesting that a locally elected government is less available for criticism or more flexible than the EU? I suspect many things are labelled as "imposed" by the EU. If that responsibility was held by the locally elected MPs, that excuse no longer exists and hence, some legislation may not be possible to pass into law.

Democracy is legislation, with, the will of the people. Not legislation by an unelected body, accepted freely or with reservations by "here today gone tomorrow" politicians and imposed on the unwilling citizens.
