Quote Pastafarian
Really cant see how taking back control of legislative powers ceded to Brussels, ensuring our courts have primacy in domestic matters rather than the primacy of the ECJ or taking back control of border control and thankfully being allowed to require EU citizens who want to live and work here to get permissions to enter prior to crossing the border, such as we do require with non EU citizens is dispiriting or impoverishing. Its normal practice for the majority of the countries on the planet who are not in the EU as they exercise their sovereign rights.
What financial price are you putting on sovereignty?[/QUOTE]
The sovereigntist argument for Brexit is a perfectly legitimate case to make.
But others have chosen to pool their sovereignty in ways and to extents because they believe pooling enhances their sovereignty - in the sense of adding to their 'power of agency' in a world order in which modestly sized nation states have relatively little say - rather than diminishing it.
Ironically by regaining our sovereignty in this way, we will ultimately be ceding overall sovereignty because we will become a 3rd 'modestly sized' nation....
