I don't recall many people, "leftie" or not, advocating "centralised
EU control."

Well it isn't the tories who've handed over a large proportion of our
legal and governmental controls to Brussels in the last decade.

The Tories said that it was all about introducing a single market.

A single economic trading zone is completely different to a single governmental
zone.

Mrs Thatcher pushed the Single European Act through to further this.

AFAIK and as far as I can find out via google, that didn't have anything to
say about handing over the keys to No.10 to unelected eurocrats.

Some Tories did say at the time that it was handing over control to
the EU.

Looks like they were right. But brussels is all in favour of state control
and micromanaging of pretty much everything so no real surprises the labour
party fell in love with the idea of a federal europe and president. And after
all , nationalism is just racism in disguise so anyone who objects is just
a nasty ignorant racist who can be ignored, right?
