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 never really thought that referendums about the EU were going to work. In spite of what most people appear to think, the EU is (mostly) a technical organisation with a sprinkling of politics thrown in to set guidance. Most issues are way too technical for general voters to understand (not because they can’t but simply because of the effort required) and therefore better left to elected politicians and (probably more importantly) civil servants.
