The "some form" would need to be:

1. Retention of national veto (their Parliament wants to abolish this).

2. No possibility of federalisation (ever-closer union).

I think you'll find those 2 points would be non negotiable for 'new' members, and to be fair if we had to rejoin on the EU's terms it would serve us right. We gave up our grandfather rights when we left and we're never getting them back.
