    Sovereignty is bunk anyway. I literally could not care less about it. What I care about is freedom, which the Tories have been eroding since 2010.
    Sovereignty is abstract, elite, detached. It’s also utterly undefined and lied about (“we can’t control our borders whilst a member of the EU”… turned out, we can’t control our borders because the Tory party doesn’t want to pay for it.)
    Freedom is measurable and essential. Entire demographics have been disenfranchised under the clumsy and draconian voter ID rules. We can no longer “pop across to France”, we have to sit in passport control queues. We don’t have enough food. THOSE things are real things.
    Sovereignty? Just a buzzword.

      Sovereignty under the UK Constitution resides in Parliament and only in Parliament. Parliament gives up tiny bits of its Sovereignty every time we join any Supra-National Organisation or sign any International Treaty - UN, NATO, WTO, EU, UNCLOS, ECHR, every single Trade Deal we've ever signed. Our loss of Sovereignty in being part of the EU was relatively small beer compared with our loss of Sovereignty in being part of the UN, UNCLOS and NATO.

    I was in 6th Form at the time of Brexit referendum, studying my A Levels. Brexit dominated the class discussions, and there was not one of us, students or teachers, who thought it was a good idea. I did a project in which I had to interview people for their opinions on Brexit, and some of the older, pro Brexit folks I spoke to dismissed my concerns and told me that it was a good thing I wasn't old enough to vote. Eight years later, Brexit is the disaster I thought it would be, and I have yet to see any of these supposed benefits materialise.

    Sovereignty is a double edged sword, in my opinion. On the one hand, whilst in the EU we had less power to make some decisions, on the other hand, UK citizens had more protections from an authoritarian government, as has been proven by the actions to date of the Tory government since Brexit, and also by their future intentions. The intent to leave the ECHR is an absurd one to hold, the only countries in Europe to leave it have been Russia and Belarus prior to the invasion of Ukraine, Greece, after a military takeover, who later rejoined once democracy was restored. The only reason to leave is to impose restrictions on the rights and freedoms of your own citizens. The Tories deliberately created the "small boats" problem, and are attempting to use it to further restrict our own rights and freedoms, unless you think the recent restrictions on your right to protest are a good thing.

      Only after they left the ECHR they will start to pass laws to take full advantage of the then missing protection.
      But if you wait until then it will be too late - your own judges and police will be obliged to act on those new laws.

    This is what people needed to learn, the tiny amount we gave up gave us so much more in return. Yes we had to take some rules, but we participated in creating those rules, a large proportion where even our ideas. The economic return was enormous. The general public who truely voted brexit will now (some with more time required) see what we have lost, how it has hurt us, etc. We will eventually rejoin, but without all our previous optouts and extra benefits. Now is not the time to do this though, the general populous is not fully onboard mentally for that. We may be able to move towards aligning with the EU, perhaps enshrining certain concepts in law for greater trade access, etc. But this is at the whim of the EU, a group that is probably not to pleased with our crazy behaviour over the last 10 years.

      Au contraire. The UK is the ONLY country. It's the one with the seat at the UN, NATO, and the say on whether it's in the EU or not. That is a "country" in modern parlance. Scotland, Wales, and England itself have been countries by those criteria in the past, but no longer are, just like Hawaii once was but no longer is. Those are now, at best, regions of the UK that don't even have their own constitutionally-entrenched powers. They don't even amount to the equivalent of a US state or Canadian province. They're effectively giant counties.

But, I did hear one arch Brexiter explain that the benefits will increase with time and would be clear in 50 years. That means that for most Brexit Voters, they will never see the benefits as they will have died.

    Btw. I like the comparing it to the gym membership. What happened is, that Tory canceled the membership in the near city for an idea of getting better one. In the end, they came up with one, which they told to be better, but when you read the contract conditions carefully, it is much worse. Also, it isn’t the near city gym anymore, but a one in the other side of the country, so you have to plan everything else to get a chance to exercise there once in a time when you are going around.

Its response to the invasion of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia in 1982 to assemble, command and despatch a task force to liberate them would not have been possible unless that Parliament was sovereign.

    Why, if he believes that "sovereignty" is so damned important, doesn't he campaign for the "sovereignty" to be returned to the first country they ever invaded, and annexed it, JUST AS RUS DID WITH CRIMEA. If "sovereignty" is so important, to this fine example of The Walking Dead, then Cymru/Wales deserves it as well, does it not?
    England invaded Éire/Ireland over 800 years ago, and would still occupy the whole island, JUST LIKE RUS WITH CRIMEA, if the Irish hadn't fought, and beaten, the English, kicking them, and their foreign monarchy, out for good.
    That brings up the point of "sovereignty" on another front. Since England hasn't had an English king since 1066, why is he not campaigning for THAT sovereignty to be restored?
    Scotland, well the self-appointed rulers, did decide to let their, false, king, to also become the false king of England. BUT, the Act of Union was broken, by the English, in its 3rd year of operation. Why is that not challenged by Cash, with his obsession about the Rule of Law?
    His type of "sovereignty" is all about, as with everything in England, maintaining the lifestyle of the RICH, the class system is what he thinks is entitled to be "sovereign". "Sovereignty" does not apply to the serfs/slaves, just those like him.
    He is the peak, in his warped mind, of the ultimate "English-in-charge-of-the-HOI POLLOI", the Uber Menschen ruling the Unter Menschen.

    We still had a vote on EU laws. We still got to elect representatives in the EU parliament.
    We didn't give up any sovereignty.
    Now we have no say on EU laws but have to obey them if we want to export to the EU.

    While Brexiteers talked about sovereignty, control of Parliament has been taken away from the Houses and more impunity given to the government. Reducing checks and balances. Attacking the British legal system and excluding opposition parties is not the behaviour of a government trying for representation of the people. We’ve taken any sovereignty gained from leaving the EU and moved it from our democratic process straight to a corrupt ruling party.

      The Tories want back the sovereignty King John had before he signed Magna Carta.

    We even gave up some of our sovereignty in WW2 when an American General was put in charge of the Allies. You trade bits of sovereignty for advantage and benefits. Do we want to be North Korea?
    Think I'll have a sovereignty salad tonight - very low in calories.

    The Brexiteers’ frame of the EU was always as if the UK had no influence and all regulations were imposed onto the UK without haveing any power. In fact the UK voted in favour of 97% of all EU regulations and was a co-writer of many of these. There are still many areas in EU policy where every country can veto new regulations.

    My favourite game is called, "tell me a positive about Brexit without lying!". Nobody ever wants to play though.
