    They were going for the type of sovereignty in William Rees-Mogg's book "The Sovereign Individual"

    I've read that book and it is entirely unrelated to Brexit. The sovereignty the Brexiteers were seeking is also entirely unrelated.

      The book itself doesn't talk about Brexit, no, but if you read my comment I mentioned how the EU was planning on restricting the kind of activity the book describes.

      With regards to campaigning, the point I'm making is that whenever campaigners like Jacob Rees-Mogg talk about "sovereignty", he's referring to what the book mentioned. Meanwhile, the people supporting Brexit think it's about UK sovereignty.

        And the point I'm making is that you're wrong.
