Odd then, that the government legislated and passed the 'Political Parties, Elections Referendum Act 2000'.
After recommendations by the Committee on Standards in Public Life that 'politics should be more transparent and accessible'.
Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000
No doubt because the government have sanctioned 48 referendums in the U.K. since 1973, and wanted to make sure future ones were both legal and fair.
Besides, the past is an irrelevance.
Not one Briton has voted this country be governed by a European Union.
The fact is we are.
Thousands, and thousands of people are demanding a say in the matter, via a referendum.
You carry on waving your white flag of surrender, and let others fight, for what is the only possible solution to this injustice.
