I am one of them.

I am all for a referendum but it would be dependent on all GB residents knowing everything they were voting on.
Even your little chum agreed a referendum would settle the E.U. membership question 'democratically'.

Before shortly voting to deny the people of Hyndburn their democratic right, to have a say whether we want membership, or not.

Something we've never, ever been asked as a people.

The E.U. didn't even exist, the last time we had a referendum, on whether we wanted continued economic ties with mainland Europe

The arguments, for, and against, would have happened later.

If democracy, rather than blind, party political loyalty had triumphed.

Pointless, mulling it over now.

Greater minds than your's, have decided the question for you.
