The EU has never been some great socialist project. Its centre of gravity has overwhelmingly sat with the centre-right, Christian Democrats, liberals, technocrats and market managers. It has never had a solid left-wing majority driving it in the interests of workers, public ownership or democratic socialism. And let’s not rewrite history on Thatcher either. Thatcher campaigned hard to keep Britain in the EEC in the 1975 referendum. She was not some lifelong Eurosceptic heroine. She backed membership when it suited the free-market project and when the EEC looked like a useful vehicle for deregulation, competition and smashing the old post-war settlement. Only later, when she grasped the direction of political integration and the loss of national sovereignty, did she make the Bruges speech and turn against the project’s federal ambitions. Meanwhile, the Tory Party carried on building the very thing many of them now pretend to have opposed all along. John Major took Britain into the European Union through Maastricht. He signed away more sovereignty, deepened the treaty structure, and helped lock Britain further into the EU machine. So the idea that the EU was some left-wing internationalist paradise betrayed by Brexit is nonsense. It was shaped by conservatives, liberals and corporate interests from the start. The working class were asked to give away democratic control, then told it was progressive. That was the trick. And too many still fall for it. #EU The Heartlands Tribune

2025: Elon Musk wants the European Union to be abolished 2016: That time David Cameron reminded us of the benefits of being in the EU, including the special op-out status the UK once had Comparing US states to EU countries works as a shorthand: both are smaller entities in a larger union, but unlike US states, EU countries keep their full sovereignty - here are some examples: ❌U S states gave up sovereignty to form a union ✅ EU countries keep their sovereignty 🆘 Abolishing the EU isn’t breaking up a federation, it’s attacking national sovereignty ❌ US states can’t have separate militaries ✅ EU countries maintain their own armies 🆘 Dismantling the EU wouldn’t "free states" it would undermine national sovereignty ❌ US states follow one federal constitution ✅ EU countries retain their own constitutions 🆘 Ending the EU would ignore the sovereignty each nation has carefully preserved ❌ US states can’t sign international treaties ✅ EU countries sign treaties individually and collectively 🆘 Abolishing the EU attacks their sovereignty on both national and international levels ❌ US states can’t control borders ✅ EU countries control who enters their territory 🆘 Destroying the EU would remove their border sovereignty ❌ US states rely on one federal currency ✅ EU countries, like those outside the eurozone, can keep their own money 🆘 Abolishing the EU would compromise financial sovereignty ❌ US states can’t impose independent foreign policy ✅ EU countries have independent foreign policies 🆘 Ending the EU doesn’t restore "freedom" it erodes national sovereignty ❌ US states can’t set nationwide defense policies ✅ EU countries maintain sovereignty over defence and security 🆘 Dismantling the EU threatens each nation’s sovereign decisions ❌ US states can’t maintain unique laws on education, healthcare, taxes ✅ EU countries make their own laws 🆘 Abolishing the EU ignores the sovereignty in domestic governance ❌ US states cannot leave the US ✅ EU countries can theoretically leave the union (like Brexit) 🆘 Attacking the EU’s existence is an attack on countries’ sovereign choice ❌ US states rely entirely on federal law enforcement ✅ EU countries maintain their own police and justice systems 🆘 Abolishing the EU would undermine their sovereign law enforcement ❌ US states cannot print passports or control visas ✅ EU countries issue their own passports and control immigration 🆘 Ending the EU would infringe on national sovereignty over borders ❌ US states cannot veto federal treaties ✅ EU countries vote on treaties and agreements individually 🆘 Abolishing the EU would strip countries of treaty sovereignty ❌ US states share a single central bank ✅ EU countries can keep or choose their own currencies 🆘 Destroying the EU would attack financial sovereignty ❌ US states can’t run independent foreign aid programs ✅ EU countries manage foreign aid and international development 🆘 Abolishing the EU would erode sovereign control over foreign policy ❌ US states cannot maintain their own national holidays or symbols officially ✅ EU countries preserve national symbols, holidays, and languages 🆘 Ending the EU wouldn’t restore “freedom”—it would threaten cultural and political sovereignty The EU union setup is often considered "better" than the US state system in terms of sovereignty and flexibility This allows each country to make independent decisions while still benefiting from cooperation on trade, environmental standards, and other shared policies The EU model encourages policy diversity and experimentation. Countries can implement unique social, economic, or environmental policies without conflicting with the union, whereas US states are often limited by federal law The EU balances shared governance with national sovereignty, which is why the sooner the UK rejoins the EU the better We will most likely have lost all of the opt outs we had before Brexit, maybe it's time for the UK to join the EU on a similar terms as other nations - all for one and one for all 👍
