The basic principles of democracy demand that they should be consulted via a referendum. If the result is that the majority of the British public want our membership of the EU to stay as it is, I'll accept that, because that's what democracy is all about. Unfortunately the political establishement from David Cameron to Ed Milliband to Graham Jones don't seem to have a similar belief in democracy.
