I'm afraid Unbrexiting would just make this a whole lot worse. In a Brexit environment at least everyone can eventually agree to just ignore the UK's outlandish laws. If they were still in the EU that would be almost impossible. Plus they would likely try to push this bullshit into EU policies as well (not like parts of the rest of the EU aren't doing that already)
