The E.U. is an organization that was created after the Second World War for calming down the nationalism of member states, and it did so very successfully.

Two thirds of a century ago, we were given a national policy. It was made to fit the conditions of the day.

We are now physically, politically, and economically one world and nations so interdependent that the absolute national sovereignty of nations is no longer possible.

The E.U. is founded on the Treaties which apply only to the Member States who have agreed and ratified them.

Taken slightly historically, the turning point in the E.U. was actually the Single European Act, the Thatcher/Maastricht-era stuff, which was turning the E.U. into very much a market system.

Power in politics, sovereignty in America is with we the people, and that is the path to turning this country around: empowering the people.

The United States has been a global power since late in the 19th century.

Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.

The E.U. is the latest of a series of multinational organizations set up after World War II to ensure that there would never again be a pan-European war and to create the conditions for a new European prosperity after the destruction wrought by the war against the Nazis. The E.U. has admirably succeeded at both.

Sovereignty is not just at the national level; that's the mistake of Brexit that other people make.
