Re: I was fine with the first indictment
FFS read some history and at least get the basic facts correct
The Conservative Prime Minister, Edward Heath, took the UK into the EEC in January 1973.
The referendum of 1975, under Wislon's government, who backed leave, was whether or not to continue to stay in Europe.
The electorate expressed significant support for EC membership, with 67% in favour on a national turnout of 64%.
The referendum result was not legally binding - because referenda / ums are not, they are public opinion polls to assist parliament - however, it was widely accepted that the vote would be politically binding on future Westminster Parliaments.
