Brexit and sovereignty

Today's Torygraph editorial states that Brexit is, at its root, sovereignty.

Which is odd.

As the EU, the Common Market or the EEC dating back to its roots back to the end of the Second World War, lead by that left wing firebrand, Winston Churchill, who saw Eureopean political union as a way of avoiding continental wars in the future. The campaign for the UK to join in 1972 made it clear that it was a project of political union. And even the Bill giving May permission to send in the A50 notification stated clearly that the UK and Parliament was always sovereign.

The fact that the UK, as an apparently unsovereign country was able to make a decision showing it is in fact sovereign in leaving the EU. If the UK lost its sovereignty in joining the EU, it could never have left.

It did.

We did.

And we will pay.

We used our sovereignty to make ourselves poorer and much reduced as a country.
