When David Cameron made a pledge to have a referendum during the Coalition Government, Nick Clegg warned him of the dangers of a referendum.

The Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats claims Nick Clegg said to the former prime minister: "You are crazy, Mr. Cameron.

"You do not know what forces you're letting out."

Ed Davey explained that the 'forces' we saw were "lies, cheating."

LBC presenter Matt Frei said: "But also, the anger.

"But when you have a referendum, with an in or out question, an existential question like that, it becomes about so much else."

He added: "It's about Europe but also about a lot of other things."

Davey agreed: "Referendums can get out of hand."
