Here's the fun part: they can't kick anyone out. It's not built into the Lisbon Treaty. There's no provision for that. You can withdraw as the UK did but that's all. The remaining countries would need to draw up a new treaty without the country to be kicked out and face probably an endless torrent of lawsuits if they terminate the Lisbon Treaty.
