An often repeated line from the Brexiteers was that our rules were being made by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels to which i found confusing as each five years we hold an election to elect them to the European Parliament.
Possibly the penny has dropped that the unelected bureaucrats was yet another lie from the Leave side as in the news that as we have been granted an extension we will have to take part in the EU election although i wouldn't bet money on it.
As a member state we get to elect the UK's 73 MEP's to the EU but the last time they were held in 2014, 36% of those eligible to vote did so, the lowest in the EU as a whole so maybe they just didn't remember to vote and the thing passed them by.
Still, yet another lie easily dispelled along with the NHS £350 million on the side of the bus and leaving the EU will be easy.
