I have had to endure my entire life in the EU, thanks to a referendum in the 70's. I had to wait until 3 years ago to vote to fucking leave. And the best thing is, the referendum we had in the 70's was for the EEC, not the EU. It was an economic bloc, not a political one.
More on this. I know people who voted to join the EEC in the 70's, and voted leave this time around. Their reason? They resented being lied to in the 70's about the nature of the community we were joining. Everyone agrees trade deals with foreign states is mutually beneficial, the EEC was sold as an economic bloc, hence the name European Economic Community. Had they known it was to become a political union, they would never have been on board.
We were sold a bill of good in the 70's and now we're being stitched up again because undemocratic remainers are making a shit ton of noise.
