I'd like to see Apple hold back more of its technology from EU users, in order that we can finally get some political pressure on the EU and their innovation-stifling over-regulation.<p>We're already likely to see hold-back with Apple Intelligence.<p>But will it be enough for citizens to pressure lawmakers?<p>Due to the process of law-making in the EU it's very hard for citizens to exert their will on lawmakers.<p>In the EU, law can only originate from the Commission, which operates behind closed doors, and comprises entirely of unelected bureaucrats (often unpopular former member-state politicians). The Commission then pushes its edicts, repeatedly if necessary, through a "Parliament" of careerist politicians until they approve it.<p>Here in the UK we tried, and failed, to help the EU to reform its democratic structures and burdens.<p>Our only remaining option was to leave this political project, and since then, we proved that the sky does not fall within a country that leaves the EU. We have secured a number of trade deals with countries outside the EU, including Japan and Australia, we have seen increased foreign direct investment, sustained low unemployment compared to many EU nations and a stabilising currency.
