Pip, it would be interesting to know if the majority of leavers were old enough to remember the old common market and that era, which would be a a good take on 'fixing the errors of the previous ref'
and as pointed out, no one would have let it stand if they had seen it grow to the state it ended up in. Frankly anyone trying to fob off the present day EU to it's 1975 version is losing grip with reality.
I'll also add as the elephant(s) in the room, that EU law & immigration were most definitely not part of the discussion at all. Even the article tells us that.

In 1975 the aims of the European Community largely concerned trade. The Treaty of Rome set these out and they relate to policies such as free movement, removing tariffs and the creation of the Common Agricultural Policy.
