My view is that there should have been a referendum for *each* of the

Couldn't agree more, though I'd prefer out. I think referenda should be
used far more in parliament too

Apart from the subtle detail that a referendum, inherently, isn't used
"in parliament", it might be worth remembering that the 2011 voting
system referendum cost about £75m. How many of 'em do you want?
