Indeed it is, but I have more trust in the integrity of the EU to make progressive regulations than a free UK conservative government. Even if they reimplement or are improved, all the good regulations etc. We're gonna have many years of regression of food quality standards etc. until they're all finally signed off and implemented.
Whether you or I believe leaving will be a net positive for the future or not, it's undoubtedly a huge step back for the near future.
