But the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty is literally at the core of the British constitution - and so insisting on the right to have a debate and a vote in Parliament is also an important part of ensuring the United Kingdom functions the way it is constitutionally supposed to.

Membership in the EU is antithetical to that.

No it isn’t — every suggested law put by the EU parliament of elected members (like Nigel Farage) has to be voted on by individual countries’ parliaments. And they can implement what they like of that within limits (as do the German, French, Italian etc. governments) — and the UK government has always goldplated EU suggestions

Absolutely. Which is why I wanted out for the UK and still want that.
