Not even Blair is talking it up of driving into the heart of Europe. Perhaps what we need is a mainstream political party to take up this position and stridently so. I'm not saying I would necessarily support it but it would offer another pole to the argument. You're right, simply half-heartedly hanging about on the fringes is useless.
