Left-wing party denied democratic power because of anti-EU stance

Very dangerous precedent set, I am pro EU but this could really harm its standing with the left - the right have almost given up on them already.

I'm Anti-EU. Not because of immigration, because I'm a multiculturalist in favour of open borders. Not because of the money spent on the EU, because frankly it's a small amount compared to our annual budget.

I'm anti-EU because it's a dangerous threat to our democracy. We do not need to sign our nations power away to those in the EU who we have not elected. The EU bureaucrats have as much power over our lives as MPs, yet I bet the vast majority of people in our country couldn't even name the main parties in the EU or the main leaders. This is not the first time this has happened btw:

Should everybody in Africa be allowed to move to the UK?

This is irrelevant to the OP, but I imagine you can guess my answer judging from my belief in open borders. I want governmental power over the individual to be vastly reduced. I believe in a world without borders with maximum freedom and rights for the individual.
