Query about Brexit.
Think back before 2015-2016, if you can.
Can you remember having opinions before 2015 about referendums on EU questions?
This could be about referendums on the constitutional treaty, or on monetary union, or even on the issue of membership itself.
My research shows that some on the "left" or were big-L or small-l liberals supported the use of referendums on EU questions.
Were you? And what do you remember about what you thought at the time?
@davidallengreen here in Ireland we had lots of European referendums. Some were straightforward, some not so. At least one had to be re-run to get the necessary answer!
But: the issues were discussed (sometimes ad nauseum) and I think we all felt better after the event. 87% pro EU membership suggests we had a different outcome to UK - were the referendums the reason? Impossible to tell but one important difference to UK.
