That’s one of brexit’s sales pitches to the hoi palloi. It is not what Brexit is about. At it core brexit is about the fact that the common identity of Atlanticist west built up during the Cold War is giving way in the Anglo sphere to the fear that the dominance of the Anglo-sphere in western and world affairs is eroding and the EU is one such erosive agent.
