But that's all they have is rhetoric, the conservatives have been rolling out the same stock phrases for 40-50 years!
They latch onto the island mentality and give a nice pink tinge to the idea of being out of the EU, the reality will be less rights for everyone.

'A principal target for the prime minister in his speech on Europe will be to wrench the UK away from the social and employment policies of the EU. Millions of people in Britain will suffer if he is successful. He must not be.'

'Cameron's manoeuvre is unworthy and mean-spirited. EU employment rights, like the EU itself – even with all its flaws – deserve the determined support of British working people. They're a cause worth fighting for. His vision of a UK without significant protections for employees, and competing not on quality but on cheapness and vulnerability, would be a disaster.'
