British
Traumas
lIn Great Britain, opposition to EC membership continued. When the Labour party regained power in 1974, it carried out its election promise to renegotiate British membership conditions; the renegotiation resulted in only marginal changes, but it created a period of uncertainty within the EC.
–A divided Labour
government endorsed
continued EC membership and
called a national referendum on the
issue for June 1975. Despite strong
opposition from some groups, the
British people voted for continued membership.
