Just to clarify the issue of Sovereignty. in simplistic terms. When we became a member of the EU We entered into a What I describe as a Deontic arrangement It was and still is that to acquire membership we must accept the condition prescribed by the EU. We did so and thus our relationship became a Conditional Deontic relationship. This condition was that we would make EU
law our law by primary legislation-the European Communities Act. This condition gave us certain rights and bound us to certain obligations I won't rehease them here. But if anyone wishes they can access them by Google. NB we accepted the condition but it should not be interpreted as approval. We may have accepted the condition with open arms or grudgingly. Be that as it may we were under an obligation not to enact any legislation statutory instrument regulations that were inconsistent with EU laws and if we did so EU law would abrogate it
This clearly constrains our ability to amend or make laws more conducive to our needs over changing times Thus our sovereignty is curtailed in this respect. Hence leave the EU. To abrogate this impediment to our sovereignty.
