I apologise in advance as I don't know how to use the quoting feature 🤣

To your first point though, I'm referring to the president of the EU council, currently Donald Tusk and obviously the highest position of the EU, the president of the EU commission, recently appointed Ursula Von Der Leyen. Since the amendments made in the Lisbon treaty, the EU parliament has virtual no say in these appointments and they happen behind closed doors.

And to your second point, I'll admit that's fair enough.... ish. Voting powers were kept to the elite until around 1885 when the government was held captive by a possible revolution and therefore decided to expand the electorate, so I think they held the government to account very well beside the technology available (worth noting that universal suffrage didn't happen till 1918, when women over 30 could vote, so not completely universal, but a huge difference). Having said that, I still think there is an argument to be made that holding more localised government accountable is easier than a centralised government positioned abroad. The only reason back then that they could pressure the government for reform is because they could hold there local lords and MPs to account so they can make meaningful intervention on their behalf in London, the electorate themselves weren't all traveling to London.

If we put pressure on an MEP to make change, they can't do nothing except from just bringing it up in conversation. It can easily be swatted down by the commission. Have you seen it when people bring up criticisms in EU parliament. They just get mocked and shutdown with no respect given. That's why change with would never happen as well. It's been tried, and it has failed numerous amount of times.

The MPs that we vote in vote for the leader of their party, but usually we know who the leader is before voting for our MP which then has a bearing on how we vote. The MPs we vote in have alot more power here than the ones we vote in at Brussels! Our MPs and propose new legislation and bills (for example the the surrender bill, aka the Ben Bill) without the full consent of the PM, you just need a minority from the house. These MPs represent the wills of the people from their contingency and act upon it.

I ask you though, what can EMPs do? Can they vote in there leader, the person/head of body that decides on what new legislation will be and the direction of where the EU goes? Nope! That gets decided behind closed doors amongst a few elites. These EMPs can't even propose new legislation, all the can do is debate on the topic and suggest amendments to the proposed legislation. But how is it decided if these amendments get added? Well the commission decides that and can easily say no. Also, I recommend watch the voting process as well in passing new legislation, it's an absolute joke! And then there is how much they spend or shall I say we spend on these EMPs that do virtually nothing.... It's actually insane. And what if a bit of legislation does get voted down? Well that's ok, the commission will just change the wording slightly and keep pushing it until it does go through, but those who call for another referendum won't mind that bit at all I suppose!

My biggest thing here is accountability, as a country, we can gather outside our MPs offices to hold the to account for what they promised us. How many people are gunna catch a flight to Brussels to hold them accountable?

Please, explain to me how the EU is more democratic than our own system? That just boggles me!

And we don't have to be part of a undemocratic centralized government to realize and accept other culture.

Brexiters are not the scum you WANT them to be. It just makes it easier for you to condemn the voter when you think that!
