How's that for nuts?
But our Government has a vote on the items that come out of Brussels and many of them have to be unanimous. There are a number that are by majority vote - that is a majority of other elected Governments. And even then they still have to pass the (elected) European parliament.

Even if the conception is they are put together by suits in Brussels (known as civil servants ...... who generally have the same qualifications as the people who put are Laws together also generally known as civil servants).
