"A referendum was held where the British people overwhelmingly voted in favour of the motion "Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?" True (if you accept two-thirds as overwhelming). However the EU as now constituted has moved on a long way from the Common Market as it was presented to the electorate in the 1970s. There are many people who voted Yes then who feel that it is no longer what they thought they were voting for and would like the opportunity to reconsider. |
