You asked me to explain the situation which I did.
You said that no Brit should be able to defend either side's position and I said that they could, although I have chosen not to.
Those are the facts.

Your next point - which I've paraphrased as: is the EU compelling the UK to relinquish its sovereignty?
The answer to this is of course not. The UK can choose not to strike a deal. I've explained why sovereignty might be impacted - it's a side-effect as oppose to the main intent.

To further confirm:
- The EU will use all its bargaining chips to try and strike a deal in its members' interests and not the UK's.
- The UK will use all its bargaining chips to try and strike a deal in its own interests and not the EU's.

Whether a player with a better hand is bullying a player with a weaker one - sorry Seph, that's life.
