The point you are making in (1.) is that sovereignty was given, not taken. The second point you are making is that if sovereignty can be reclaimed, then there is no loss of sovereignty issues at all. I can see where you are coming from. However I ...

Hi Cliffwards, Good point about those who didn't know what way to vote, just voting for the status quo. I think that probably holds true for a large section of people, and perhaps those also who didn't have strong feelings. All my friends (I was the ...

Cloudrider, it seems that like me you are a strong believer in the process. This referendum has brought to the fore grey areas in our 'constitution' which to me have implications far greater than a Brexit. Much has been made that the referendum as ...
