Ignoring the money argument for a minute and great big fat lies being told.

What do you mean by unelected?

The U.K. Government decides who represents the UKs interests on the EU Council. You don't vote for the UK cabinet or ministers and there is no requirement for members to be elected MPs.

How far do you take this, people from Yorkshire have no direct say on the members of the UK cabinet, does this mean there are unrepresented?
