Jesus H ! You accuse me of revisionism !!!!!
The question put to the plebiscite in 1975 was Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)? This was supported by the Conservative Party ( in opposition) and the communists in government, except for Mickey Foot and Lord Tony Benn and the trade unionists. Two thirds of people voted "oui" What we were not asked about was The European Parliament 1979 The Council of the European Union 1993 The European Commission (the one that needs the treaty of Lisbon to ensure we all think European) The Court of Justice of the European Union 1952 The European Court of Human Rights 1959 The Court of Auditors 1975 (the ones who "audit the books") Nor have we had a chance to consider the effects of: The Schengen Treaty 1985 (the one that allows eastern European Sputnik types fee rein in Europe) The Single European Act 1987 ( evision of the treaty of Rome supposed to provide a single market) The Maastricht Treaty 1993 (this was not just about the Euro, oh no, Common Foreign and Security policy, Then European Court of Justice sneaking in too) The Amsterdam Treaty 1992 (changes to Maastricht) The Treaty of Nice 2001, made changes to Maastricht and the Treaty of Rome 1958, the one that we did know about in 1975 The Lisbon Treaty 2009 more changes to Maastricht…the one that gives its a constitution for Europe. The common market no longer exists and we never had a chance to vote on the European Union ( they dropped the economic bit from the name as it is anything other than economic and now controls most of your lives) And you call this a "logical progression" …..???
