Correct, but that was not how they portrayed it. You could call it

The taxpayer-funded booklet sent to every household at the start of the campaign stated quite
clearly that this was a referendum on whether to stay in or leave the EU.

It said "This is your decision. The Government will implement what you decide."

It was not a consultation on what the alternatives could be.

In a general election the parties will set out their stalls.
