The parliamentary systems in Europe are appalling and ensure "status quo" of elites.
After watching it enough at play, you understand.
There's absolutely a sovereignty problem with the EU, which is not necessarily fixed by getting out because the lobbyists can pay the politicians no matter what.
I'm watching it for 25 years now, I'd dare say understand it well.
And yes, the EU has a sovereignty problem. However, that is by design, as the member states wish to keep control. It's certainly not my preference, but with the current political climate it won't change.
It's ironic how you took it the wrong way, as if I didn't know it was by design and think that "the EU doesn't have enough power or doesn't remove enough sovereignty from the member states".
My problem is exactly that it removes sovereignty and citizens of each country have a weakened democracy and representation because of it.
The capacity to effect change is extremely low thanks to both parliamentary systems and the supranational EU.
The EU has some convenient things that one can benefit from, so people don't care to have the other conversation (or are simply authoritarian).
