Quote:I don't know if national sovereignty really exists anymore with the intertwined nature of our economies. I mean, it exists in theory, but the idea that a nation is truly independent of other nations and their decisions is to simplify an extremely complicated world.


I mean the Brexit sounds like it is achieving some idealistic form of independence from bureaucracy, but they will have to deal with that same bureaucracy, except from a position of "outsider."

And in this case a position of strength. Under the current system, the EU can put quotas and limits on the uks own resources and create an immigration crisis without the direct approval of Britain itself.


Britain is one of the dominant forces in Europe and a dumping ground for a lot of European goods. They can negotiate better deals on their own.
