FF: Wouldn’t you given what the polls show?
SR: Do you think that is what it is?

If voting is an illusion of control why bother at all? It is only our vote for UKIP that gave us a chance to Leave the EU by getting a referendum. If you consider our vote is just for an illusion of control, don't bother then and let the rest of us decide our future.
I should have said the illusion of more control. You believe that the EU represents a barrier others believe it represents a safety net and a set of checks and balances. The government of the day represents their policies which the majority voted for in dealing with the EU.

The EU represents a level of governance that sits above UK governance in areas of policy-making that were relinquished to the EU as a whole. Do you agree that our respected and elected politicians agreed to this at various treaty signings?

In areas of policy making regarding our membership and participation in the EU and it's institutions. We sit on the board that sets that agenda.

The only set of checks and balances I want upon our Government is that we are free to dismiss them and elect others every few years. I have never voted to allow a foreign parliament such as the EU to be a check on our government, and neither have you.

It's not a foreign parliament. It's a parliament we are an equal member of.
