'The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.'

The Roman Historian Tacitus. AD 68 - 96

The EU which has todate produced 89,000 pages of regulations all of which have to be implemented into UK law (European communities Act 1972 section2.2) certainly fulfils Tacitus' criteria.
When the UK eventual leaves the EU, unplugging EU derived law and reconnecting UK law will require considerable planning, drafting and implementing. Perhaps we had better start now. Offers of help please in the comments box below.
