A friend of mine who lives in England told me the reason lots of Brits want to Leave the EU is because they are slowly losing their sovereign power. He explained that if the UN had the same power as the EU the UN could pass a law that says no weapons/guns of any kind could be sold to citizens in the USA and unless our reps to the UN could get 14 other member’s reps to vote such down in UN council we would have to abide by that law.
Some have complained about the overbearing nature of the EU for quite some time now.
Funny, I went to google an article I had read about that in a college course in the 1990s, and found... my own post. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2899476/posts?page=41#41
There has to be a point, eventually, when even many of those who initially cheer at authoritarian decrees on the basis that people don’t know what’s best for themselves realize that the resulting loss of freedom affects them, too.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Yesterday I read an article that said the Queen came out for Brexit. Apparently she was not allowed to voice an opinion (???), but dinner party guests reported that, while not saying she was pro-Brexit, she kept asking people, “Give me 3 good reasons why should England Remain?”
