If Theresa May said to Jeremy Corbyn "Lets not bother to have a General Election, why don't you just run the country as you wish for the next 4 years" there would be an outcry that the British democratic process was being bypassed (by most EU supporters I would guess).
Yet that is exactly what happens in the EU. All the people in the top positions in the EU are NON-ELECTED by the public. We have no say who gets these jobs.
All we can vote for is our MEPs who are pretty toothless to be honest, about as powerful as a normal back bencher in the UK government.
Yet all the EU supporters are happy to go along with this, thinking it is important to have elections in the UK to vote on who runs the country, but not caring that we DONT have a vote on who runs the EU.
That was one (of many) reasons why I voted leave.
