I see two major problems with this (sadly, as I'm a federalist). First is corporate influence and lack of influence from the actual citizens. Second is that we need clear separation of powers between the EU and national (and county and ...) levels. This separation is lacking now, and if US history is anything to go by it needs to ber very explecit or we'll get creeping acumulation of powers in areas that can be handled at least as well at local levels.
As for the UK leaving the EU... not gonna happen. If it were to happen it'd take 5-10 years to negotiate, since the UK would harldy exit all parts of the EU.
