EU 'RED CARD' AND END TO UK SOVEREIGNTY

History will probably view a vote to stay within the EU with 

safeguards in the forthcoming referendum as having been
largely inconsequential.

The EU's desire for ever-closer union will be given added
impetus to pool the sovereignty of 27 countries by the
need to address the huge disparities in their economic
performance. This will have the effect of weakening
the very modest concessions won by the Prime Minister in
his Brussels negotiations.

Putting aside the possibility that the EU could soon
implode under the weight of its economic and democratic
inconsistencies, what would be the position of the UK, 

stripped of any self-determination by the impossibility
of negotiating any legislative changes, not with 27
countries, but with a European?

This would render the 'red card' for dealing with 

damaging Brussels legislation non-sequitur. At the

same time the primacy of the European Court of
Justice over UK law would continue, making the
the UK a sovereign state in name only.
