The way I see it: The very-anti european parties in Britain like the Tory's and UKIP believe that one day the EU will become a country, not a collection of countries working together like it currently is.
When the leaders of Germany and France are saying just that, which they have, and when the shyster who came up with the constitution that would put into practice a form of governance not seen since the fall of Soviet Russia is saying thats the aim, I take note.
I may be considered by some as a "Little Englander" (Which by the way I personally find highly offensive) but really, anyone who cannot see this comming into being really aught to look very carefully at the constitution that was written up (And before anyone asks, yes I have read it). Once you learn to decode beaurocrat speak, you're left with a picture of utter ineficiency and a breading ground for corruption on a superb scale, all run from Brussels with no recourse by national governments to oppose it. You want a system thats flexable and efficient (for the most part) look to the US, not the USSR. States can challenge federal law if they so wish I believe, the EU constitution offers countries no such power.
