Query about Brexit.
Think back before 2015-2016, if you can.
Can you remember having opinions before 2015 about referendums on EU questions?
This could be about referendums on the constitutional treaty, or on monetary union, or even on the issue of membership itself.
My research shows that some on the "left" or were big-L or small-l liberals supported the use of referendums on EU questions.
Were you? And what do you remember about what you thought at the time?
@davidallengreen I remember being interested by a candidate’s argument standing to be our MP.
He promised to be a technocrat and put every vote before the house open to constituent text polls that he would vote according to win, claiming this would be both true democracy and technocracy.
He got double digits returned voting for this but it was a premise that looked like the future at the time.
This was the election before Nick Clegg’s PR vote.
