Hollande: "no revision of the treaties is planned"
So given the foundation of the EU is essentially based on the treaties, what, exactly, have we got? An agreement to agree? Ultimately worthless and will be forgotten about as soon as it is politically expedient to do so.
I'm pretty pro EU in principle but this isn't a particularly massive victory. The only notable concession is the carve out from "ever closer Union" but lets see what happens in practice - I bet we don't resile from future treaties that bring forward that ever closer union.
I find it so disappointing that the referendum will be won/lost on how this pretty meaningless (in the grand scheme) 'deal' is portrayed. The argument should be won/lost on the actual merits of the EU, not political grandstanding.
