You are right, Anon the Last.

The 1975 referendum was carried by the “pro-Europe” establishment with the most shameless deceit and misdirection, yet none of us defeated anti-Marketeers (we weren’t called Brexiteers in those days) ever dreamt of challenging the verdict. Before the vote Mr Harold Wilson had made clear (as Mr Cameron did this time) that the people’s decision would be final. Those who are now twisting at every legal hair in a desperate effort to defeat the verdict are behaving in an incredibly irresponsible fashion and inviting political and social risks which they are too blinded by their partisanship to understand. It’s ironic that they’ve called themselves “People’s Challenge” – a minority of the people challenging the will of the majority in the name of democracy. Stalin would have been proud of them.
