1. It establishes a LEGALLY NEW European Union in the form of a supranational European organisation.

  2. It empowers this NEW European Union to act as a State towards other States and its own citizens. (The NEU can make treaties with other states which are binding on ALL the old EU constituent nations.)

  3. It makes us ALL citizens.  (There will be no choice in the matter.)

  4. To hide the enormity of the change, the same name - European Union - is kept.  (And the flag and anthem, but we'll not mention those either...)

  5. It creates a Union Parliament for the Union's new citizens. (We have one of our own, in theory, useless though it may be.)

  6. It creates a Cabinet Government of the new Union.  (You will have no more control over this than you do of our own. The EU already does this anyway.)

  7. It creates a new Union political President.  (Will you be allowed to choose him or her? Watch this space...)

  8. It creates a civil rights code for the new Union's citizens.  (Which will over-rule the working one the British already had for centuries.)

  9. It makes national Parliaments subordinate to the new Union. (Say goodbye to British self rule. Mind you, 75% of our law is Made In Brussels anyway.)

 10. It gives the new Union self-empowerment. (The EU will make its own changes to itself. No more messing around quibbling with Treaties, Haw Haw.)
