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 always felt the Brexit referendum was divisive and biased towards stoking up tribal aggression
I argued my point regularly to people who I had always respected (in-laws, friends parents mainly) and was told, rather strongly, that I didn’t know what I was talking about
My total devastation at what is playing out now does not give me the ‘told you so vibes’.
Just deep, deep sadness
