United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum, 1975
The United Kingdom referendum of 1975 was a post-legislative referendum held on 5 June, 1975 in the whole of the United Kingdom over whether there was support for it to stay in the European Economic Community, which it had entered in 1973, under the Conservative government of Edward Heath. Labour's manifesto for the 1974 general election included a pledge for a referendum, so after Labour won under Harold Wilson, the referendum was held.
