    the EU don’t require a referendum? Never have, probably won’t in future either.

    They don’t particularly care how it gets decided as long as the request to join is officially recognised by the government of the country.

    Some joined by unilateral decision by Party Voting (internal voting of the leading party)

    Some joined by request of their allies

    Some joined when the country reunified (East and West Germany)

    Some joined by their Legal Court putting the motion into a Bill which was voted on by their Parliament
