The last two sentences are important...

However, those who want to leave the EU say the only sovereignty that matters is the ability to make all our laws in the UK.

And if that's what sovereignty means, it's difficult to see how it can be achieved while the UK remains part of the EU.

Yes that's about as deep as the argument seems to go - we want to make all our own laws.

The question is whether that principle alone has a greater value than the benefit of being part of the world's largest trading bloc. And if so, how that value can be realised. Just saying "it makes me feel good that British people are making our own trade deals now" isn't a good argument if those trade deals are worse than the ones we had before. But obviously we've been over this before.

You're apparently prepared to take a large and lasting economic hit so you can own this right of sovereignty that harms your own country economically. Fine, I get it. But, neither you nor any other Brexiter can explain how your or my or any of our countrymen's lives are going to be better because of it in any tangible way, just that it feels good to you and the #MEGA crowd - which is never going to cut it for me.
