Nope, that's not how democracy works. In a democracy, the people are supposed to have a voice. Limiting their choices by edict from on high silences that voice.
I had much the same sort of problem with Republicans in Virginia during the last primary. In order to vote in the Republican primary for candidates, the GOP decided that folks had to sign a paper saying they would vote for whomever the GOP told them to vote for. I wasn't having that, so I passed on voting in the primaries at all. If they were going to select the candidates instead of elect them, they didn't need little old me to make the trip to the polls to validate their fantasies.
That's not how a democracy works, either.
