Rejected petition Has the UK's membership of the EU since 1975 been illegal?

The British people voted to continue its membership of a trading organisation. We did not vote surrender to sovereignty and join a political union. We have now voted to leave the EU, an EU we were not asked to vote to join. Was our membership legally binding?
