So just what is it about the last 30 odd years of EU reality that leads you to believe it's just a symbolic phrase? It doesn't look very symbolic from where I'm sitting.

The EU is more than capable of changing the rules, moving the goalposts and coercing other nations to get what it wants. If we stay in what's to stop our own government going along with all that using the referendum vote to justify it. Successive govts. have already done just that without asking the public to vote on it - little by little our status has been eroded and the only way we can rid ourselves of any possibility of being further drawn into the EU quagmire is to leave now and I'm praying that enough people can see sense to enable that to happen.
