We'll never be rid entirely of larger governing bodies, and that's a good thing.

As I keep saying, each larger organizing body should have an increasingly constrained function and authority.

Brexit is an adjustment away from a large organizational structure that had not properly constrained itself. Responsibility for any given issue should be given to the lowest/smallest-sized organizational group that can effectively tackle it. What I should eat for dinner isn't an appropriate issue for the UN to decide, and what amount of pollution I should be allowed to emit isn't appropriate for me to individually decide. Each organizational body needs to have their authority constrained and focused as sharply as possible to prevent them from becoming overreaching, inefficient, liberty destroying bureaucracies.
