There's one thing about this referendum that I deeply resent. The assumption that a change had to be negotiated in Britain's relationship with Europe. I didn't think much was wrong with the situation to be frank, and I expect there are many who think the same, despite the hysterical blarings of the right wing media and UKIP.
Perhaps we should have had a two stage referendum, first with 3 options - 1) Remain as is; 2) Remain with Dave's New and Improved Added Wonder Changes; 3) Leave. Option with lowest votes in round one gets knocked out, then a deciding round. We could take a bit more time, it's not exactly an emergency.
Not that I think we even need a referendum in the first place, but the Daily Express/Mail/Telegraph and the shrill, nauseating, single-MP'd UKIP had to be placated, didn't they? Sigh.
