Re: Brexit Discussion (New thread-Follow First Post Rules!)
Pierre is right and we were right to join the EEC. I do recall, however, that Heath did it more or less on his own, though with a Parliamentary vote. Note that the Common Market became the EEC, then the EC and now the EU (since around 1993).
Talk about scope creep!

Another thing is bothering me now. Not only was the 52/48 thing finely sort of balanced, but with the Japan FTA and perhaps a decent chance of a US FTA, the objective economic balance is moving.
If we can maintain our never closer union position (goes to the sovereignty backstop) then I can see a Remain vote if a second referendum occurred.
