Description:On 5 June 1975 British voters went to the polls in their country's first-ever national referendum. They voted, by a majority of 67%, in favour of remaining in the European Community, which Britain had joined two-and-a-half years earlier. Scholars and commentators tell us that the period between accession, on 1 January 1973, and the vote, was a series of crises followed by politically motivated renegotiation and referendum which ultimately culminated in an 'unequivocal' but 'unenthusiastic...vote for the status quo'. This book revises this interpretation in two ways. First, it shows the continuities between the policies towards Europe pursued by the two prime ministers of the period, Edward Heath and Harold Wilson. Secondly, it shows that the result of the referendum was also underpinned by a sense of uncertainty.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
