Comedic answer: In the same way, “Republicans” are standing for "State's Rights" instead of the rights of the Federal Republic: By name only. Real answer: It's all around the idea that to keep the EU “in check” and nation states sovereign (which is their main deal, aside from 'controlled immigration' as they call their specific flavor of Xenophobia), the EU needs to be reformed into a more powerless organization basically.
