    So the UK has always been a fully sovereign independent state that chose to join an association of nations and then chose to leave.

      Surely that is better?
      Yes, because the political parties in the UK are so different aren't they?

        You will actually find that the UK was very influential indeed in the EU and they basically opted out of all the stuff that didn't come out of the UK, eg the Euro.

        However the British ran an empire and they're only happy when they dominate and order other countries around with "Diktats" such as May is doing with Scotland and Northern Ireland.

        However it does appear that Scotland will be throwing off the shackles of the faceless UKSSR UKCrats.

        I'm alright Jack
