I think more of an evaluation and adjustment needs to be made. Breaking the EU up would end up being detrimental to the region economically and politically.
The UK had never fully bought into the EU, it's why they aren't a Eurozone country. They like to look back rather than forward whereas the countries that are all in don't look back in history with fond nostalgia for a number of reasons. The UK (along with France and Spain to lesser extents) likes to look fondly on the days of colonialism, which the other countries just don't have fond memories of. Some of them want to move forward but they are trying to drag some others along kicking and screaming and that is where the issues come about.
It's no secret I am a fan of some more European models for things, but the fact is that the EU is about easier commerce, easier diplomacy, and easier cooperation. Trying to drag countries into a more progressive path just creates animosity and works counter to those aims.
