I never said it should be a major decider. You did. I said that nobody can complain that we're leaving. The referendum was always on the horizon. Nobody can stick their fingers in their ears and pretend otherwise.
Honestly, like explaining chess to a pigeon. |

But it was not the EU way back then but the EEC.
And at the time of the EEC in/out referendum the EU the manner it is now was not well in the pipeline of the then EEC. It was only a trading block back thsn and behaved 100% like it The EU the way it is now was only in consideration in the fag end of the 1980's. All those 1980's EEC summits that the UK government were the only ones who voted against proposals every time did not look even 1 inch the EU let alone every inch the EU all along. The EEC was certainly not the EU in everything but name ever since the UK joined. For the UK to hace held referendums on all EEC then EU proposals "every step of the way" would have made the UK the laughing stock of the world long before the June 2016 EU in/out referendum when no other member was holding a referendum on any of these proposals anyway. |
