There are people commenting on this thread that really do need a history lesson or two.

As I told marchers at*last Saturday’s demonstration*in London, I dismiss with contempt the image of us as an island wrapped in a union jack, glorying in the famous phrase that captured, for so many, Winston Churchill’s spirit of defiance in 1940: “Very well, alone”. I was there. I saw our army evacuated, our cities bombed, our convoys sunk. Churchill did everything in his power to end this isolation. Alone was never Churchill’s hope or wish: it was his fear ...
Margaret Thatcher would have been appalled to see Britain excluded from the top table.*Theresa May dashed across the Channel*last week, only to be excluded from a meeting of our former partners, and presented with a take-it-or-leave-it offer. That is what the Brexiteers have done to our country: a national humiliation, made in Britain, made by Brexit.

What It does means is that the first referendum was held in the UK in 1973 and in the time of suffrage referendums were considered to be unconstitutional and that the suffragettes purely wanted the right to vote in general elections.
Whilst I’m no expert I cannot however account for your lack of basic historical knowledge on both suffrage and referendums
