I'm not standing up for the EU but at least you get a vote on who represents you .. we don't get to vote in USA elections.

We might have MEP’s but all they do is rubber stamp what the un-elected bureaucrats come up with. We then follow the dictats whilst the French ignore them if they don’t like them.

As the 49th state Hawaii gets to vote in the US elections and so does Alaska. Indeed Alaska very nearly had a vice president.

If the UK became the 51st state we too would have a vote.

Incidentally the national government does impose regulations on local governments.
