So? The left critique and the right critique of the EU differ, and have different goals. Just because both agree on a simple basic idea - we should leave the EU - doesn’t make them natural allies.
For instance, me - longtime left eurosceptic, voted remain. Not because I believe in the EU, but because it was obvious that brexit was a project owned by the extreme right and I don’t want to live in a country where they are setting the agenda, and I don’t want to leave the EU in a manner where they are in the driving seat.

Although I'm less sceptical towards the EU than you, this resonates very much with me.
Really? I thought the far left were quite known for being anti EU.
