This actually beat the 1975 voter tally to join the European Economic Community, as it was known as then.
Last year, over 33 Million people voted in the EU Ref. Some 72% Turnout. In 1975, it was only 62% at just under 26 Million total votes. I guess Apathy ruled here too, and had more people voted back in 1975, we could have avoided joining that pile of garbage.  |
Yeah but everyone knew what they were voting for when we joined but not when we decided to leave.
