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?

You may recall I was a little left wing in years past 🙂
To be honest, I wasn't engaged enough with how our integration with the EU enabled. Perhaps this was partly to do with the media? Most channels here tended to portray it as the 'garlic police', ready to mandate the size of bananas.
Were our counterparts in other EU countries encouraged to engage more with the process? How did their media portray the EU?
