The treaty text the UK failed to get removed that basically forced the referendum to happen was the bit about the goal of the EU being "ever closer union".

The referendum came about because of agitation from UKIP and the right of the Tory party, Cameron's rather lame attempt at renegotiation came after the referendum was called.

But despite all that and the words in the treaty I am still not sure if the EU has expanded it's activities, has there been "more EU"?
