As to "fifth column", what's wrong with standing on a platform that supports getting the UK out of the EU, or alternatively (no chance) of getting the EU reformed?

The anti-MEP candidates have stated aims to disrupt the working of the EU if elected. Many have clear wishes to see the destruction of the institution they wish to be become part of.
Since you see this as not an issue, let me reverse the scenario: Sinn Fein put their principles aside and take their seats in Westminster. These democratically elected MP's start motions declaring the British occupation of NI illegal. They refuse to represent the wishes and requests of any constituent who is not a Republican.
Yes, you would be first in line to applaud these individuals and support their right to denigrate our Parliament.
