Sovereignty will mean that WE get to instruct OUR politicians on the direction the country goes in, like voting for the Green party if you want to have better controls on pollution in this country, at the moment 27 commissioners decide what policy will go before the EU parliament the same commissioners that we have absolutely no way to influence as they are unelected and there for totally unaccountable to any voter in this country. To take back control over our politicians will mean WE take back sovereignty and have a chance to change the way things are done in our country.
The government only have choices on some of the EU laws not all, and if they dont follow EU laws then they get taken to the EU court just like Poland and Austria are at the moment.
I think you have the Tories & Labour the wrong way round, Labour has stopped representing the hard working man many years ago, just look at their current leader never ever done a days work in his life, a total career politician and a pretty bad one at that, Labour take power and spend all the money put up taxes sell all the gold reserves and bankrupt the country, the Tories get in to power put all the **** right the Labour gov buggered up and get painted as the bad guys, happens every bloody time I personally would love a change in the way politics works in this country, we can not keep going round on the Labour & Torie merry go round of overspending and cuts to services to pay for it.
I think you will find many countries want to do trade deals with us, not just the yanks.
Not sure whether this is sarcasm or not?
For over 40 years our elected politicians have been signing away our sovereignty.
It was Maggie Thatcher who signed the free movement treaty in 1984. In the same year she privatised a lot of our national industries allowing foreign investors and companies to buy in and take over.
Seems that every Government since has been signing more and more of our sovereignty away.
You say the government only has choices on some of the laws.
We’ll get taken to court if we don’t enact some of them.
We’ve been paying a fine every year to the court of human rights for decades regarding the illegal reading and censoring of prisoner’s mail.
I don’t see that being taken to court for not enacting an EU law is a particular problem.
We’ve not been forced to join the Euro, we’ve not been forced to change from pints to litres, we’ve not been forced to adopt the working time directive, just what are these laws that we’ll be taken to court for?
I don’t think I have the Tories and Labour confused at all.
Though I do accept that there seems to be little to choose between them.
Whilst Labour do appear to no longer represent the hard working man, the Tories never have and never will.
As for Corbyn being a career politician, there’s not much I can do about that. Seems 99% of politicians are career politicians now.
I can’t actually think of any Labour politician that I would want as Prime Minister. Perhaps Dennis Skinner, Joe Ashton or Jess Phillips.
As for Labour spending all the money, that’s what money is for.
To my mind, it’s much better to spend the money on necessary things rather than give it away to people who have more than enough already.
.......lets drink!
