Now you could say that we don't win on many issues at the Parliament or Council level but the numbers don't reflect this - https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts...-uk-influence/ Even if we do lose a number of votes, does this not make the EU 'too democratic' rather than undemocratic?

Might we meet on this: it is undemocratic in terms of national parliaments that the European Parliament is dead keen on trumping them?
