No. The United Kingdom joined the Common Market in 1973 under the Conservative Prime Minister, Ted Heath. Much of the Labour party had always been opposed to Britain's membership of the Common Market as they saw the organisation as too pro-business, so when Labour's Harold Wilson won the 1974 elections, the first ever referendum in Britain was held in 1975 after a lengthy and controversial campaign. The result was that the UK supported membership of the European Common Market.

Why do people in the UK want a referendum on Europe?
A referendum is a nation-wide vote which allows a country to change something very important about their nation. The UK is currently part of a group called the European Union, and group which dictates things such as: price of fuel, price of vat, immigration ect. So whatever they set the price at, the UK and all other member states have to comply with. If the UK leaves the EU, they are able to set their own rates and have more control on what they spend the money on. It's a massive decision which could either save the UK or break the UK.
