“A referendum on this matter consists of consulting
people who don’t know the problems instead of consulting people who know
them. I would deplore a situation in
which the policy of this great country should be left to housewives. It should be decided instead by trained and
informed people.”
So said Jean Rey,
ex-President of the European Commission, in 1974.
Clearly John Bercow, Jo Swinson, Hilary Benn
and others who threw their toys out the pram when they lost the referendum
still think we are housewives.
