Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU

I think that where we differ is that you have tightly bound the term "sovereignty" to the narrower concept of Parliamentary sovereignty, backing that up with the correct statement that our Parliament has unbounded power in the political sense.

Whereas I take the fuzzier view that people who wanted our sovereignty back did not consider that Parliament would exercise its sovereignty in such an antidemocratic way. Voters were well aware of Cameron's commitment to executing the Referendum result and had no idea that this commitment would be subverted by the use of parliamentary sovereignty.

The general election cured the problem of parliamentary democracy and misuse of parliamentary sovereignty.

I suspect that we are still Leaver vs Remainer in this semantic debate.
