So now we have a number of countries that, like the UK, want to have the benefits of being in the EU, but none of the responsibilities. If Poland wanted its &quot;sovereignty&quot; why did it join the EU? Now that it&#x27;s joined the EU, why does it refuse to play by the rules?<p>Isn&#x27;t it too late now to think about sovereignty, especially for the last two batches of countries to join, long after the establishment of the current trend for &quot;ever closer union&quot;?
