Just curious... Scotland cannot hold referendum without permission, therefore not sovereign. However the UK can. What sovereign powers did the UK loose as a EU member? Anyone?

Make a blue passport? - No was always possible
Make laws in Westminster? - No was always possible
Border checks? - No was always possible
Right to refuse and deport criminal EU immigrants? - No was always possibleComment

Exactly. Completely befuddled every-time I read the return of sovereignty in the news."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

HTH.Just out of curiosity, but Scotland cannot hold a referendum without permission, and therefore is not sovereign. However, the UK can. What sovereign powers did the UK lose as a result of becoming an EU member? Does anyone have some proposals?Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

What's Not To Like?
We clearly didn't have that after we entered the EU.Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies
The fact that we didn't have it before, or won't have it afterwards, is quite irrelevant and typical of you narrow minded remainers who are always stuck in the detail.
Regaining sovereignty is clearly a good thing (even if it's not going to happen). You remainers are always fretting about whether things are true or completely fantastical.
To put it another way: we haven't got it now and we are going to change all that so ipso facto - fantastico!"Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment

Why?Originally posted by Cirrus View PostRegaining sovereignty is clearly a good thing
In stead of some laws made in Brussels by hated politicians you will now have laws made by hated politicians in Westminster, why is that so important?
For the average citizen it is not going to make any difference whatsoever (except maybe that they may lose workers rights and protection, human rights, freedom of travel and movement, health and safety rights, etc etc)Comment

Erikur, you can't run your life purely on reality.Originally posted by Eirikur View Postwhy is that so important?
If I eliminated all the projects I've done which were clearly self-delusional, and all the ones that were clearing up after other people's self delusion, there wouldn't be much left.

HTH.
Until then, well, you know the answer to that one.Comment
