The problem with that article is that the argument for leaving is not so we can bring down the international trade agreements that are part of it. Capitalism has gone beyond that. There is no geographical bureaucracy it cares about any more. The "common market" has a much weight as your village market.
Personally, I'd rather live in a community than a market. But, it's too late to shut the gate on that one.
The argument for leaving is not to have to accept the likes of human rights legislation. Now big business doesn't really care, the powers that be can pander to the NIMBY contingent and keep themselves in that power.
Human Rights should be universal. As such, the bigger the contingent coming to a consensus, the more acceptable they should be to all parties. No-one is suggesting leaving to EU to extend human rights in the UK. Not even the Morning Star.
