Someone wrote this in one of my groups recently and it struck me that it neatly encapsulates the problem we were trying to fix when we voted for - or against - Brexit.
โThe UK joined the Common Market and is leaving the European Union.โ

@JohnPhilpin It does I think. In some ways, the political and legal institutions of the UK carry a cultural and political legitimacy, ancient, time tested, proven, that Continental countries cannot match. Which makes it harder to sweep those aside in favor of untested EU institutions.
@JohnPhilpin I think the European Union ๐ช๐บ is an incorrect denomination of what really is a set of loose agreements that the member countries to varying degree follows, at least it is from a non-member (but EEA-member) POV.
