Abstract
The campaign over whether to leave the EU or remain a member has predictably focused on matters such as immigration and the economy. However, at stake at the referendum later this year are a set of rights that UK citizens have accrued by virtue of their EU citizenship. Here, Katie Boyle argues that the democratic legitimacy of a genuinely deliberative referendum process requires that citizens are kept informed of the implications of their decision at the vote.
