Using Noether's theorem
∂0∫d3x(∂L∂(∂0Ψ)δΨ)=0
we get three conserved quantites Qi from global SU(2) symmetry, because the Lagrangian is invariant under infinitesimal transformations of the form δΨ=iaiσiΨ. The conserved quantities that follow from the free doublet Lagrangian L=iˉΨγμ∂μΨ are therefore
Qi=iˉΨγ0σiΨ=(vee)†γ0γ0⏟=1σi(vee)
Why are the conserved quantities that follow from i=1 or i=2, never mentioned or used? For i=1 we have
Q1=(vee)†σ1(vee)=(vee)†(0110)(vee)=v†ee+e†ve
or for i=3 we have
Q3=(vee)†σ3(vee)=(vee)†(100−1)(vee)=v†eve−e†e
which is the usually used third component of weak isospin.
