I think you didn't understand the title. Its about the UK and Brexit and how that has caused all sorts of supply issues UK side.

The title is pretty accurate actually, and the phrasing is deliberate. Nations that are part of EU are subjects to rules and regulations made by the EU bureaucracy. This body is not elected by the people of these nations nor can it be held to account by them. Any current member of the EU that wishes to pursue an economic policy that's contrary to neoliberal capitalism that EU champions will find it impossible to do so because it lacks economic sovereignty required to do so.

The UK is not part of the EU any more. Under what rock have you been living?

I very clearly was not talking about UK in my comment, but rather explaining to you what national sovereignty is and how EU undermines it. Hope that helps clear things up for you.

Yes, but your original post shows a picture about the UK. I still think you are missing a lot of context (as usual for your "/c/europe" posts) and thus didn't understand what this is about at all. The original picture is literally about how you can't eat (post-Brexit) sovereignty and is a pro EU comment.

As the title of the post very clearly indicates, my point is regarding the framing used by the publication. I get the impression that you are intentionally failing to understand what I said in my post, and the follow up explanation. There were plenty of other framings that could have been used to describe post-Brexist problems that UK is having, but The New European chose to mock the concept of sovereignty. Again, hope this helps clear things up for you further. Please let me know if there is any other confusion on your end.

Ah, so I was assuming the best that you simply did not understand it, but actually you are just a right wing nationalist. Thanks for the clarification.

TIL yogthos is right wing nationalist

I've noticed the same behavior talking with liberal Americans, anything they don't agree with is dismissed as right wing propaganda.

Democrat fanboys are easy to spot with that one. You can even find occasionally unhinged reactionary Bernie fans doing that.>

Have you heard of the EU parliament? The one that EU citizen vote for?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Have you heard of the European Commission which EU citizens do not vote for?
