Interesting that the EU flag is on the left, indicating superiority

Because the EU as a supranational organisation is superior to its members.

Not really. Article 50 exists, and even then, nobody has been kicked out of the EU either. Most EU countries don't do this. I know Germany did it, but that's Germany. The EU is just something a country is a member of, like NATO or the UN.

For example in the UK, the only flag that ever has been able to take priority over the national one is the Royal Standard.
