Let's rephrase that statement:
'I don't actually think the idea of national identity, British or European, should be the driving force behind political life, so I am not going to get into a 'British' vs 'European' debates. I simply think that the European Union has some merits and has served us well over the years - that's about it.'
If you not bothered about national identity, then the two statements are very similar, don't you think?
