Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostWell the other problem with a referendum is that it offers a binary choice; in the EU or out of the EU, in the UK or out of the UK, etc, when I'm pretty confident that a lot of people would like to answer 'well, sort of in, but with some/a lot/a little more room to decide things for ourselves'.
