Seems like you did have one referendum. 🙂

"In 1975, the United Kingdom held its first ever national referendum on whether the UK should remain in the European Economic Community. ...

"On 5 June 1975, the electorate was asked to vote yes or no on the question: "Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?" Every administrative county and region in the UK returned majority "Yes" votes, apart from the Shetland Islands and the Outer Hebrides. With a turnout of just under 65%, the outcome of the vote was 67.2% in favour of staying in, and the United Kingdom remained a member of the EEC.

I heard you wanted to 'be like Switzerland.' 😆

Does that still apply? If so, why isn't it working?

You mean the UK? Probably the lack of mountains and Germans.

"A rose by any other name..." But seriously, didn't you opt out of the EU parts you didn't like e.g. Schengen and the euro? 😆

To an outsider, it looks like the EU bent over backward to let you do what you wanted, and there was never much support for leaving. For example: "The Referendum Party was formed in 1994 by Sir James Goldsmith to contest the 1997 general election on a platform of providing a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU. It fielded candidates in 547 constituencies at that election, and won 810,860 votes or 2.6% of the total votes cast. It failed to win a single parliamentary seat because its vote was spread out across the country, and lost its deposit (funded by Goldsmith) in 505 constituencies."

I mean, I get it. You changed you mind after 40 years. But why?

That'd do it. So what are you trying to be as a country?

I don't think you remember how to be a small, insular, independent nation with no far-flung colonies. When was the last time - 1400 something? 😆

"You" the country. Y'all. Not "you personally." 🙄

Of course it is, and I think you know that.

Not exclusively, of course, but primarily.

You should explain that to university presidents who lost their jobs because they wouldn't promise right wing members of Congress to punish students for chanting pro-Palestinian slogans.

Is being in the EU a dead issue now? Is there a possibility of a return referendum?

Don't forget us down under as your AUKUS partner. Multi-lateral free trade agreements for the win!

George Patton did not claim to be everyone's president.
