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've never been in favour of referendums as the electorate generally doesn't have a sufficiently in-depth knowledge of the subjects they're being asked to judge. This invariably reduces complex concepts to simple arguments that can be shaped in the interests of politicians and media owners as we've seen.
