Anyway, wtf does "sovereignty" actually _MEAN_?

Oh boy. It means we can vote political parties out of office if we
don't like what they do.

Such as invading Iraq and using billions of taxpayers money to bail
out the banks, so as to keep paying bankers their million pound
bonuses you mean ?

Do you have any clue how much worse it would be if we have no vote
whatsoeevr over our lawmakers?

That can often be difficult to assess. They seem to spend a great deal of
time doing patch up laws which often don't work, rather than anticipating
what needs to be done.

It means we have some control over our lives.

Such as choosing which of two Old Etonians will be our next Prime
Minister you mean ?

As opposed to having someone in control thousands of miles away that has
nothing but indifference & mild resentment against Britain, is making
laws primarily for others' benefit, and frankly couldn't care less. And
who we can never remove. If you can't work out which is better you
should take your brain back for a refund.

If there were mild resentment against the UK in the EU, just who do you
think is to blame for that? There always has been a vocal minority in the
UK who've done everything in their power to try and make the EU fail and
bad mouth it at every turn. To the extent where all EU legislation bad.
All UK legislation good. No logic - just the usual bigotry.


Plus getting shot of all the Polish plumbers and builders while at the same time

I hope not. Out of the EU we actually have a choice on these things.

And deciding just who out of the current EU immigrants can stay would take
years. Not something the majority of the outer racists will be willing to
stomach. They want them all gone the very next day.
