[Pearls Before Swine]

Merkel says, “Give it up!”

But, to whom? Any puffed up entity that comes along and claims it, like the EU or the UN?

Or, pan-national Islam?

Or, World Communism (less likely at the moment)?

“In this day nation states must today – should today, I say – be ready to give up sovereignty.

But, to whom? Any puffed up entity that comes along and claims it, like the EU or the UN? Or, pan-national Islam? Or, World Communism (less likely at the moment)?

There is no other entity to which THE PEOPLE feel/owe more loyalty, to which they pledge more allegiance (which is the backbone of sovereignty).

I can only guess that Frau Merkel thinks that an old-fashioned concept like "sovereignty" belongs on the ash-heap of history, like belief in the divine right of kings.
