    Any state successfully withdrawing from an ISDS-infested treaty should be a huge victory for its people, but I wonder if the UK or any nation that benefits from sales of oil/petrol would even bother taking advantage of their regained sovereign powers to regulate more effectively? Also, there seem to be propaganda efforts out there to rile up farmers and their sympathizers to fight against meaningful regulations (rather than for consideration and assistance with adjustments). I wonder how this might play out.

        Certainly but Shell and BP are two of the top 10 biggest energy companies in the world. I guess it comes down to which industries are most closely wedded to the politicians and the monarchy.
