Then how come the UK has left the European Union? This is a common misunderstanding, but a misunderstanding nonetheless. Any country in the EU has full sovereignty and chooses to exercise it by combining forces with other countries in order to strengthen their combined influence in the wider world.

Are you suggesting that if the European Union were post-Westphalian that the UK wouldn't be able to leave? Not sure how that follows. That the EU is a post-Westphalian system is not a new idea.

fair point, I’m just a bit tired of people falsely claiming countries give up sovereignty by joining the EU. Thought you were making a point in that direction, but today we need to stay together and stay strong.
