You provide your own counterexample. The UK left the EU and all it got for it was a quicker passing of it's "online safety" nonsense with none of the checks and balances (EU parliament, ECHR) that would stop it in the EU.
80% of the UK public were in favour of the "online safety" idiocy.
ECHR is still part of UK law (but I agree with your overall point).
