The EU is run by the European Council (not the Council of Europe) made up of national ministers who are directly accountable to national parliaments.
As we have seen with the EU crises, leaders and finance ministers made all the decisions. The EU parliament had nothing to do with the big decisions.
I didn't have a say on Irish home rule or the Treaty of Versailles. How far do you propose to go back in time? I am sorry John but that's a daft one.
