Hattersley
Roy Hattersley, writing in today’s Guardian, has this to say:
Properly pursued, the argument about sovereignty is won by European integrationists. For sovereignty is to nations as liberty is to individuals - not a theoretical condition which they possess, but are too weak to use, but the power to act in their own best interests. The more we are integrated with Europe, the greater that power becomes. It would be unreasonable to expect the UK Independence party or their Conservative sympathisers to understand so sophisticated a definition.
A strange view of sovereignty, this one. Does anyone want to defend it?
