You know who forced the UK to go reneweble?<br>The EU...<br>You're welcome,(reply>), @Daan Willemsen<br>With a decision like joining the EU? Allow me to disagree on that. An issue of that magnitude would definitely prompt a referendum.,(reply>), @Heinrich Berndovsky People vote the government. Government takes the decisions for the people. That's how democracy works. It's not that with every important decision a referendum is needed.,(reply>), @Daan Willemsen<br>The people voted for the EEC. There was no such referendum for the EU membership, the government simply joined it.<br>To date there have been exactly three UK-wide referendums in history - the 1975 EEC one, the 2011 AV one and the 2016 Brexit one. Nobody asked the people back in the 90s whether they agreed to be part of an European political union.,(reply>), @Heinrich Berndovsky Well, the UK deicide to join the EEC, but they also decide in the 90's to join the political EU. But the UK has now decide to leave and that is their choice. Still I think a Brexit will not happen for a long time.,(reply>), @Heinrich Berndovsky I don't know. That's what I THINK. I don't know what would happen if UK in the 70's decide to not join the EU. I also don't know what would happen what now is gonna happen. I think that the Brits are better off remaining, but that's to the UK to decide.
