Brexit = lost sovereignty

THE TRUTH ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY

Outside the EU, we ONLY have a say in our country, with barriers to trade with our most important customers and suppliers in the world.

But inside the EU, we had a say in our country AND our continent, and enjoyed NO barriers to trade with our most important customers and suppliers in the world (by far).

In the modern world, countries recognise that sharing some sovereignty actually increases their power, strength….and sovereignty.

Britain is part of a planet that increasingly needs to work together with other nations, and working together, means sharing some power and agreeing some rules.

That’s our road to more civilisation, security and prosperity.

That, of course, is the great strength of the European Union. Neighbouring countries coming together to share power and influence for the common good.

The EU is the world’s most successful economic, trade and political union of countries. It's the world’s biggest, richest trading bloc, with considerable influence in the world.

But now we're outside the EU, we can only look on as decisions about the running and future direction of our continent are made without us.

That’s not gaining sovereignty. It’s losing it.
