Your argument does not stand with e.g. France.

In France, there's an election for each. One for national parliament seats, one for EU parliament seats.

In the last decade, the national elections were usually won by center-left (Macron's party) while the EU ones were won by the far-right (Le Pen even has a seat at the EU parliament AFAIK)

What it doesn’t stand exactly? Who is the foreign entity that makes French people do at stuff? Macros? Le Pen? The French voters?
Well in theory I'd agree with you, but in practice your assertion that people would vote the same party nationally and at the EU level is demonstrably false
I don't get it? Do you claim that one of the elections is rigged? I mean, we have multiple elections for a reason right? People choose to vote for different people on different elections, why would that be problematic and how that would be "fixed" if France left EU?
