Rejected petition Referendum on Britains membership of the EU

More details

The last time the people of the United Kingdom were given a referendum on anything EU related was in 1975 where the electorate overwhelmingly voted yes. Since then the EU has changed from a free trade area into a Supranational organisation that is seeking powers that are held only by states.

It is only right to ask the British people if they want to be part of this new superstate.
