[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 142587, member: 33"] I think you're right but people make out that sovereignty is like something that's in a box that can be passed from one nation to another to use. We live in global times and the idea that the UK can act independently is laughable. As part of the EU we had influence on what the EU does as a whole, after Brexit we will be a lone, insignificant voice with less international influence and thanks to Theresa May's deal, the EU will have more say over what we can do than they do now. Yes, xenophobia was a significant contributing factor in why many people voted for Brexit. People who don't want foreign workers in the UK need to explain how we will support our aging population without the taxes that foreign working pay in the UK. The consequence of fewer EU migrants will be more migrants from more non-EU countries because there won't be enough people of working age in the country to support our economy. [/QUOTE]
