The same old same old.

Listening to Bill Cash a staunch "outer", one is amazed at the 'surety'and the blind faith in people from both sides of the BREXIT argument.
Cash has been calling for our exit from the EU for years, when it was less of an issue, he repeatedly stood up in parliament and pleaded to come out.His argument was about  sovereignty and democracy, the right to chose and protest, the right to feel some sort of kinship, something we can all identify with.
The BREXIT economic argument for staying in is bolstered by the movers and shakers in commerce and industry. Being naturally sceptical it makes us wonder "what's in it for them" do they all have 'skin' in the game and of course if they do it sullies their argument because of what they stand to lose personally. But should it. If they lose we also lose, jobs are lost and income into the exchequer is also lost not to mention the pension funds which rely on a healthy economy.  
Sovereignty and Democracy are an over valued concepts because true democracy is rare and for most modern societies the concept of standing alone and sovereign is old fashioned in the age of Globalisation.
Take our 'first past the post' system. Voting in the UK is unrepresentative, the bulk of people in our society lie outside the winning political party having voted for someone else and have to accept that their views are not represented by the governing party.
The idea that "we" make our laws to suit "ourselves" is to first question we have to ask.

The "we" and the term "ourselves" is opaque since it could be argued that unrepresentative government  does not have "our" collective best interests at heart.  

Is perhaps the European Union, a bureaucratic organisation made up of, and representing 28 nations, not more likely to contrive a more equitable rule book,  reflecting a more egalitarian picture of humanity than our own special interest cabal.
As the ruling party connives to draw new parliamentary boundaries to further its grip on the electoral process, distancing the underbelly the rank and file, ever more a subset of non-achievers  who's schooling, housing and healthcare are regulated through the prism, not of affordability but as a return on investment. As the Private Sector takes increasing hold and we begin to see the emergence of conditions in some of our depressed and deprived cities which we last saw in the 1930s, (that  last period of unfettered capitalism), does the suggestion that our sovereignty means something else, depending in which class, or economic subset you belong to does this schism in our society mean that the sovereignty Bill Cash yearns for is anachronistic, something belonging to an earlier time.
Countries deserve the rulers they get if democratic principles are adhered to but politics, which underpins democracy is a cloudy world of hubris, self aggrandisement, self promotion, and of course self interest. Perhaps under these conditions  "our" (the peoples) self interest comes a poor last and we are foolish to listen to the same old same old !!
