*** OFFICIAL BREXIT SUNLIT UPLANDS and #MEGA THREAD ***

I mean, an EU army is hardly the main reason to leave the EU. But this was always about sovereignty and democracy. Why the hell would you expect anyone who values sovereignty to be on board with an EU army? It's a further erosion of nation state sovereignty, it weakens a nation while strengthening the bloc. It makes it even more difficult to leave the EU in the future. I'm not sure why you're surprised that it's a relevant matter when we talk about EU membership.

What sovereignty has Brexit gained us? The right to freely negotiate a lot of poorer trade deals than we had obviously. But what else? We already had the right to abstain from joining the EU Army, so that doesn't count sorry.

And "democracy" lol. So far, you haven't provided one good reason why being a part of a larger democracy like the EU is somehow a bad thing. Unless of course you go back in a circle to "sovereignty". But then you still can't explain how we are gaining in that respect, except for having the right to lose out on trade so we can salute the flag and shout #MEGA.
