> Differing regulations and standards between countries usually makes no sense and just harms the consumer.

It's true that they don't make much sense and that they often harm the consumer, but I vote in my regional politicians and in theory can vote them out if they impose standards I don't like.

One of the problems with Europe was the perceived lack of democratic control coupled with the dishonesty from anti_EU campaigners about things like straight bananas.




The problem is that unless the bad regulation is hurting everyone a lot the regulations will be around for 10-50yr after you vote them out.
