EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I don't believe any of that, I was trying to join in the game @mi7rennie proposed.

I read an article over the weekend, which I now can't find, which basically argued that you can only have two of democracy, sovereignty and access to global markets at any one time in today's world. The UK has had to sacrifice some sovereignty to be part of the EU, but the benefits seem, to me at least, to outweigh this disadvantages. But if I were an unskilled worker living in a post industrial community in northern England or south Wales, I'd likely have a very different view.
