Bonjour,
J'ai du mal à traduire cette expression.

Crucially, surpranationalism is the defining characteristic of the EU, and the one which makes it so objectionable. Thus, you cannot reform it in any meaningful way – take away its supranational character and it ceases to be the EU - it becomes something else. To expect otherwise is to expect a cat to bark.

On that basis, there are only two options when we are asked whether we want to remain in the EU - "yes" or no". No amount of tinkering around the margins will make the EU less of a supranational organisation, and therefore reform is an irrelevance. To vote "no" is to reject supranationalism - to vote "yes" is to accept it. The idea of "reform" means nothing to us - a reformed supranational organisation is still a supranational organisation. There is not and cannot be a middle way.
