I have watched this before, as this was before my birth, many UK governments have changed, Prime Minister have changed they team lines up's, but in history, this seem to have been a point of time like no other?
Harold Macmillan had try to join the EEC.
"Macmillan acknowledged that Britain’s future lay with Europe, but his plans for entry into the new European Economic Community were set back when the French President General Charles de Gaulle said no to Britain’s application in January 1963. Devastated, he wrote in his diary that “all our policies at home and abroad are in ruins”. His greatest achievement on the international scene came a few months later in August 1963, when he was heavily involved in negotiating the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, earning praise from Presidents Kennedy and Khrushchev for his patience and diplomacy."
