We will only reap the rewards of leaving the EU Treaties if we restore our sovereign legal method and take control. This is the very purpose and function of our (now sovereign) Parliament. It is this which defines who we are.
Yet neither our system nor most of our establishment appear to grasp this, so the implementation of Brexit has been botched.
Since 2016, many of those in charge have struggled with the profound disagreement within the electorate, which has contorted reasoning and logic.
