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 having never taken part in one, I generally thought they were a good thing. But people do need access to proper facts in order to make informed decisions. Switzerland seems to handle it well, they vote regularly.
Brexit has shown what a disaster they can be if people don't understand the issue.
