British PM Cameron could diffuse most anti-EU sentiment if he persuaded Parliament to curb the jurisdiction of EU Human Rights courts and Human Rights laws. Britain has no written constitution, so Parliament can do what it pleases, restrained only by conscience and public opinion.
Other EU members would have grounds to expel Britain, but I suspect a critical mass of voters and some of those countries would sympathize with Britain.
