What would we have done before when the evil EU prevented the passing of these laws.
The idea that we get more power and sovereignty by giving the career politicians more control after the years of absolutely showing they haven't a clue what control is, would be laughable if it wasn't so depressing. All they have done is reinforce what we already knew about them, winning is more important than being right as they continue their games on from the uni debating society.
Let me know when this sovereignty makes me, my family or friends have a better quality of life, because I can't see it. Being half English, half Spanish with and a half Norwegian, half Indian partner probably affects my interest in this taking back sovereignty instead of sharing it.
What you say illustrates that the populace are not politically savvy, worse than that, they are serial offenders at electing poor government's, that is the price of 'democracy'.
Talking, of which, why would any voter decide to vote for any potential or existing MP, that has consistently voted 'remain' in parliament, since 2016?
Those politicians that did vote against any measure facilitating Brexit , did so, with the utmost contempt for democracy, if voters re-elect them, then they deserve all that they get, bad laws included, because their 'democratic' credentials are totally absent.
A reason that people do not perceive 'freedom', is that they are born into a system that effectively controls them from the cradle-grave.
As a result, people cannot perceive being outside of the system paradigm of that control, which begins at a very early age & are entrapped over their lifetime's.
If you are born into a system, it seems quite 'normal', but, as one gets older, one then begins to question & reflect on the order of things in their life.
Even simple actions are the consequences of an economic or political system that reduces humanity to a unitary component of a system, in that case, is it not unsurprising that people cannot see that they are not really doing anything, other than performing on the economic treadmill of subjection.
Everything is virtually monetised, which carries a price, advertising draws in the materialistic person, often it's because someone else has a particular object, so they have to have the same.
It's the, 'keeping-up-with-the-Jones's' mentality, each time you purchase something, your mind is anticipating the next 'want', in order to keep functioning in that manner, you have to sell your labour to satisfy that materialistic hunger & there is no end to it until you 'want' no more.
If you want 'sovereignty', you can have it personally, it's simply the freedom to make choices of your own, unhindered by obligations to any system or to others, it's not nihilistic, it's a form of liberation, when that state is reached on a personal level, you are then liberated by your very own personal sovereign power.
