[Whilst advocating to remain in the EU] They just didn't get a say in those laws.
I'm perfectly happy to have an unelected government making our laws ... ... All this about the EU coming to steal our democracy is scaremongering.
I am genuinely revolted by this person.
The first part is to add context (in case it seems a bit random), but I don't intend to push any agenda.
And the last part just highlights the inconsistency in his post.
But I am so bloody disgusted by what this person has said; that he's perfectly happy with an unelected government, despite all the numerous people who have died for the democracy we have.
I'm surprised someone would believe that the EU is undemocratic, whilst advocating it, and then outright admit it as if there's nothing wrong with what's being said. I'm surprised at the audacity, and bluntness and his honesty despite the topic.

there are many causes people have died for, doesn't make them all right
Because I don't want the thread to be deleted for slandering another user.
But trust me; it's real.
You mean libel. Niot even sure how you have libeled him unless it was untrue?
No I dont trust anyone on this forum and prefer to see what you are going on about in context rather than bits being cherry picked. Just link the thread.

they said we don't get a say in the law but then wanted an unelected government to make the laws? I don't understand

@999tigger Does that satisfy your trust issues for the stranger?
I do think the person who wrote that is in year 10 though (and that's being optimistic.)
It's still appalling for a 14 to 15 year old.
I just asked you to link it, that was all. Its normal good manners to do so in the first place.
4. And yet those unelected officials have done more to protect the environment, consumers, and humanity than any elected British government ever has. Most leave voters couldn't even point out a piece of EU legislation that they don't like. I'm perfectly happy to have an unelected government making our laws, they're far better than any idiots this country has elected, and if they ever start to act against our interests then I'll support leaving, because we can leave whenever we want. All this about the EU coming to steal our democracy is scaremongering.
They might be unelected, but its this country that voted to give them the power to make laws that we have to comply with. They might not be directly elected, but they do have a mandate from the governments of each member state. Each state gets to contribute towards the makeup of the Commission as well. I cant see why the poster cant be perfectly happy with the arrangement as is. If it was unnaceptable then we shouldnt have joined, but we voted as a nation to do so.
Why didnt you just answer on the thread instead of creating a whole new one about it?
