The other important body is the European Court of Justice, which does have pervasive influence and is not elected.
Essentially it is the last Court of Appeal appellants can approach on matters of human rights violations and transgressions against European law and treaty agreements. It supersedes judgements handed down by the highest courts in member countries, the House of Lords for example, and is a bone of contention with many Brexiteers who want to ‘bring their laws back’

Indeed, Jim.
And somebody pointed out that if you add up the results of all the other Premier clubs it proves that Manchester City didn't win the League.

Not according to the latest European election results as stated by the BBC;

Remainers
Plaid Cymru. 19.6%
Lib Dems. 13.6%
Greens 6.3
Change Uk 2.9%
Total 42%

Leavers
Brexit party 32.5%
Ukip 2.9%
Total 35.4%

Labour and the Conservatives polled 21.8 % between them and splitting this vote fifty/fifty which is a reasonable assumption, still leaves a comfortable majority for remain, and represents a significant change since the referendum when Wales voted 52.5% to leave

Not if you add up all their results against Manchester City they didn’t. And, after all, isn’t that exactly what they did?

To go back more than a few posts, they are willfully dumb, Daniel, and don't deserve representation. Maybe they're not going away, but life is too short for that nonsense. Sorry, but they can't be allowed to make shit up. Carry on about May. (That was bothering me. But I'm done.)

Interesting article, Annie.
It's probably well-known in the UK how Donald Trump explained to America that a new referendum would be "unfair to the winners." Presumably even if in the meantime they had changed their minds about the idea.

Cheers,
John
