If people don't want to join something should be done. No sensible debate has ever been held on this subject. Any referendum will be flawed because the party in power has a pre-stated preference. It's not inevitable because it's good, rather because no is able (willing?) to stand up to it. A political party which attempts to raise the issue gets labelled as rascist little-englanders and people vote for whichever _party_ (and how many people even know the name of their own MP) Rupert Murdoch tells them to.
