You keep mentioning the 1975 referendum, and the E.U.
The actual wording on the referendum paper was this.
"Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?"
The European Union, the body it is today, didn't even exist in 1975.
That's the whole point.
Not one Briton has ever been allowed to vote on whether they want E.U. membership, or not.
It's pointless of you, or us, even discussing why E.U. membership benefits/hinders the U.K.
That balanced, reasoned public debate won't now happen, because you, and other politicans voted against letting people have their democratic right to vote on this issue, in a referendum.
What you voted for, a great many of your constituents think was wrong.
They want their views on this issue made known, in a referendum.
