The Referendum Roundabout

"The Referendum Roundabout is a critique of the role of the referendum in modern British politics. The 1975 vote on Europe is the lens to focus the subject, with an account of that campaign and brief word portraits of the leading personalities on either side. The closing chapters look at the still unresolved controversy over the referendum on the European constitution and the effect of the referendum movement on the course of devolution in Britain."--BOOK JACKET.
