Anyway, wtf does "sovereignty" actually _MEAN_?

Deciding for yourself what happens policy wise instead of
having that imposed by some failed politician in Brussels etc.

No one decides on policy for themselves.
It is decided by the government of the day.

Which always has an eye to how the voters will vote in the next
election when they do that. Unlike with the EU where the commission
doesn’t have to give a damn about how the voters will vote in the
next EP election, because it can't even decide to pull the plug on
some EU policy that has already been imposed by 'regulation' etc.

Often in direct contradiction to the manifesto they were elected on.

And when they do that, they risk being given the bums rush
at the ballot box in the next election, like Labour was quite
recently when Blair and Brown ****ed up badly enough.

And most UK governments ain't elected by a simple majority anyway.

But the voters can give them the bums rush
at the ballot box if they **** up badly enough.

And make and obscene gesture in the general direction
of Labour when they have actually been stupid enough
to have some fool like Corbyn want to drag Britain back
to the time just after the war when they nationalised just
about everything that mattered.

Not even possible for the voters to have any effect
on the most basic EU policy that way with the EP.
