Jobbik gets more than 20% of the vote in the Hungarian General Elections:
20% of the votes can give them 4 to 5 seats in the EU parliament. With the FN in France expecting to win at least 15 seats, forming a block won't be much difficult.

Is such a referendum supported by any of the major political parties? And more importantly, is it legitimate?
The conservatives have promised one if they are elected in 2015. The liberal democrats are against it (they are blocking the conservatives from doing it now). Labour have promised a freeze on transfer of powers, with a referendum on membership if any such transfer is proposed.
The UK and Italy will elect 73 each.
Not if the UK has the planned EU referendum we won't 
The earliest likely referendum will be in 2017 and assuming a 'scottish model' we wouldn't actually leave until at least ~2019. Thus, the next crop of British MEPs will serve the vast majority of their term.

Even if we do, do you really think the public has that much of a spine? I'm sure that people are somewhat sceptical but I really can't see anything happening even if we do hold a vote.
And on the tiny chance we do leave, will the vindictive political backlash of the EU cause us to go running back? It would surely put pressure on whichever party is currently in power.
I can't see any good situation occurring from this. There's too much short term pain from leaving.
And as to "favourite" political party. We all know it will be more of the same. I guess I enjoy the ones that make me smile and occassionally speak a nugget of truth.
