Feel The Force
I likely wouldn't have agreed with a lot Mrs Thatcher did.
However she I understood believed holding a referendum as a failure of governnent
So in that I agree.

You can't have a really fair UK wide referendum with a binary question, where England has almost 4 times the voting strength of N.Ireland, Scotland and Wales put together.
However England votes in any referendum, that is the much more than likely result.

For me politics, is life, the governments we elect and all the MPs have a big effect on our lives, families and incomes/livelihoods.

However as to parmnion's point.
I feel so disappointed and even shame at how badly the UK is now served by all leaders and all Parties across politics.
It's really depressing.
