What could have led the 1975 referendum about Britain remaining or leaving the EEC end up with a "No" victory? Not necessarily by a wide margin, giving the historical vote went massively in favour of the Yes, but enough (maybe followed by supporting elections) to maintain Britain out of the EEC durably.
What would be the consequences in Britain? As far as I understand, the opposition to EEC was much more balanced on the left/right spectrum in 1975 with significant labour and conservative support as well from independentist/automonist parties. and could have made for a significant but not monopolized governmental outlook in Britain, while the question remains open whether or not Britain would overcome the industrial and economic difficulties that made joining the EEC attractive in the first place.
Eventually, what would be the consequences for the European project itself? On the same broad course, or more early on focused on political integration even at the cost of slower extension?
