In fact the only time one was promised on a treaty the Government of the day reneged on that promise.

In France and Holland they had a referendum and then simply ignored the result. In the words of Jean-Claude Juncker - "If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and if it's a No we will say 'we continue’,”

Bigfella is absolutely spot on with his comments. The EU has changed beyond all recognition since the UK's 1975 referendum. It will continue to do so until its aim of a European super state is achieved.
