Isn't that what Eurosceptics have been saying though? They don't want a political union? I've only seen a few videos but I'm pretty sure Farage has been saying something like that. That things cannot work without going all the way, and they don't want to go all the way. "Undermined" seems like the wrong word for opposing.

Eurosceptics and europhiles are not necessarily on opposite sides when it comes to closer political union. Many of us who are of the opinion that the European Union has done a lot of good are nonetheless of the opinion that tighter integration and standardization are not necessarily a good idea.

I'm not sure what Farage wants apart from attention, it's been obvious for a number of years that political union was very unlikely and that the UK isn't going to join the Euro zone yet he continued to campaign.
My feeling is most of the brexit campaigners didn't like the EU because they saw it as left leaning, this is why the opposition mainly came from the right.
