Britain has more going for it than many think, as a member or signatory to more than ninety international organisations or treaties.
The difference is that although many of those do create international laws with which some EU Directives accord, they do not aim to subsume their member or signatory countries to unite in a quasi-state; an ambition that was no secret and was supported by Edward Heath even when he lied otherwise about the EEC only he called "The Common Market".

@iagreed They did, because "everyone" (including me at the time)thought that was its proper title and purpose. Yes, it was and is a common market (small initials) but was it was never officially that by name.
Heath is also suspected of having been given a handsome cash "award" of tax-payers' money for signing the accession; and ordering the BBC to be pro-EEC biased. I have seen these only in a book I have on the subject, but they are serious accusations that to my knowledge still await proper investigation.
The EEC (possibly EU by then) itself started to make me question its aims and methods, by its vicious reaction to my enquiring after a post as a driver (hardly inspiring work, but on a salary above that of many contemporary business managers). It had been unofficially advertised by an MEP in his weekly column in a newspaper.
