    The average of the two referendums is; Remain 57.67%, we should have remained
    Also in 1975 the vote was to join the EEC.

    In 2016 the vote was about leaving European Union.

    Does not seem to have been any vote in between the 2 which changed the EEC to the EU though.

      In the EEC the UK was subject to laws and regulations from the EEC and anyone from the EEC had a right to a job in the UK.

      For the UK things haven't fundamentally changed. It has changed for countries in the Eurozone. The UK isn't in the Eurozone.

        Big difference between being in a partnership with places like France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and being in a partnership with a wide variety of extra countries such as Bulgaria and Romania and giving their citizens unrestricted access to our shores

        Say what you like but in my view anywhere the local air force is flying Mig fighters is not Europe in my view

          Indeed very true.

          there is also a big difference between 'being in a partnership with' and 'being governed by'.

              Nothing has changed legally that is just a couple of slogans.

                EU doesn't know what the UK wants

                Lets face it, the governnment has two simultaneous objectives of staying more or less in the EU and crashing out without a deal depending on who you talk to in the cabinet.

                  Putin didn't change to rules to that extend, he just stepped down for 1 term, in favor if his PM Medvedev, then swapped back. All legal and according according to the voters wishes...
