Unnecessarily and what's worse is there was no appetite amongst the public for it until Dave called the referendum, the EU was waaaaayyyyy down the public's list of priorities until then, who knows if he'd stuck to the big society instead of letting Gideon derail it with austerity he might have got away with it to

A large proportion wanted leave for a long time before any referendum. They just never had a genuine opportunity to vote on that. Plus nobody was really allowed to complain about it, and still aren't.
