What you should have admitted is:
We have never voted to join the EU

Welcome to the 1975 European referendum - a mirror image of the one being fought today. Today the Conservative government is deeply divided over the big question. In 1975, it was the Labour government. Prime Minister Harold Wilson had come back from Brussels with what he claimed was a better deal for Britain (sound familiar?) and was leading the In campaign.
But Labour's left, led by Tony Benn (and including a then-unknown Jeremy Corbyn), hated the Common Market, seeing it as a "capitalist club" that would erode British democracy and destroy jobs.
Just in case you want to confirm that here it is again

(an extract from the article
The Conservatives - including their new leader Margaret Thatcher - were, almost to a man and woman, enthusiastic cheerleaders for staying in "Europe" on free trade grounds, after taking us into it two years earlier. Like now, big business backed Britain's membership - but so did the tabloid press, with The Sun famously declaring in an editorial "we are all Europeans now".

Re: Gina Miller Claims She Will TAKE BACK CONTROL Of Brexit!
Political and defence union was being discussed early on way before we joined. So it was always something that could be on the cards. The first line of the Treaty of Rome is "DETERMINED to lay the foundations of an ever-closer union among the peoples of Europe, "So it seems people didn't know what they were voting for two years ago and in 1975.
