It was Britain’s first nationwide referendum. The decision to join the EEC was taken by Edward Heath’s government in 1973, but Labour’s manifesto promised a referendum on Britain’s ongoing membership. • The question facing voters was, “Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?” Britons were thus divided into Yes and No camps, as opposed to today’s ‘Leave’ and ‘Remain’. • Younger Tory voters may raise an eyebrow at footage of the then leader of the opposition Margaret Thatcher arguing passionately in favour of Britain remaining in Europe. • https://labourheartlands.com/
