So you see no difference between being part of a trade partnership with half a dozen members (EEC) to being part of a much larger, sovereignty-stealing bloc (EU) comprised of, inter alia, a majority of countries with much less to contribute than the UK?
The second referendum clearly acknowledged sufficient difference between the EEC and EU.
