>>We really should just let the politicians and their advisers do what they think is right rather than insisting on having our say.
I think they need to stop fooling themselves (unless they're actually right). My hope is that this referendum will be a close decision but still an IN.
That should provide a barrier against the potential for future further integration. if the politicians believe there is a substantial part of the electorate which would vote against them in elections because of their stance on Europe, then they are likely to be a great deal more careful.
As Manatee says, its not so much what the EU now is which is a concern, it is what it might become if left to run unrestrained.
