I think you may have misconstrued what I was saying or maybe I expressed myself wrong - EU was a non-issue previously in the sense that asking people about big issues facing U.K, very few considered EU an issue until Cameron brought it on the table. I don’t think anyone is

denying that an anti-EU sentiment existed before, it just wasn’t prevalent. People didn’t know about the Eu (they still don’t) and certainly 53% of the electorate didn’t care.
