Yeah, which is why I'm so surprised people are surprised about Brexit. It wasn't some full-on racist rant. Many people just wanted sovereignty for real, including a large number of Labor voters who voted quietly, fearing retaliation.

When you can't write your own laws, and you don't get to elect who does, you're not really sovereign.
