Perfect?

After the deal the UK is either sovereign. Or it ain’t.

Anone know which it is?

The UK will no longer be in the EU apart from the Irish backstop issue.

Terms of the future UK-EU relationship will have to be negotiated over the coming months.

Sovereignty is my red line, certainly.

But the UK is still sovereign today (in my view and I am actually pretty well informed on British and English constitutional law and history) - I want out of the EU because I fear it will lose its sovereignty if it stays in.

Whatever deal is made, I can't see it making that situation any worse.

I've been trying to get the UK out of the EU since the early 2000s. My concerns with it date back even further but I only became actively involved once I left military service - I didn't consider politics appropriate while I was serving.

This isn't a new issue to me.

And sovereignty has always been my primary concern, and 'ever closer union' is the threat to that sovereignty.

If the EU was still the common market the UK joined, I'd probably be in favour of it. But it's changed from that and it will continue to change.

Until it was too late to leave.

This isn't Britain's last chance yet - but it's getting very close to that, so I damned well want out now.
