Either we reform the EU from within using our strong belief in the institution.
Or we have a revolution and a world war to replace it. Millions dead.
I'm sorry but these things don't tend to have a middle solution. That's what history teaches us.

Britain leaving the EU didn't result in a war so it kinda disproves your point. If some countries leave and later reunite on according to different set of principles, it doesn't necessarily mean there would be a war.
Personally, the fact that the EU considers itself above the constitutions of its member states without having this "constitution level" approved by the actual people (there are two referendums that failed at the ballot, in France and in the Netherlands, that lead restructuring so that no more popular vote was necessary, those are the contracts which are now in place), is a major no go for me. If there ever is to be an European constitution, the people must absolutely be able to vote on it, and the vote must be binding - so rejection means no, and a not "bypass by restructuring" - and a new attempt must then furthermore be voted on.
