What do you mean by our own democratic processes?

- we have democratically elected institutions;

By any global standard our democratic processes are more than up to the task of giving the people a voice in who governs and how they behave.
Examples of the electorate making judgments you (or the daddy) consider inadequate … well that just begins to sound a teensy bit like the sort of patronising nonsense that was sadly all too common from remain campaigners in 2016. It seems some Europhiles really do think a technocratic government in a foreign country is what’s required to save them from stupid British voters who keep making poor decisions.
To reiterate the substantive point: regional development funding is a political issue, not a constitutional one. It will be solved by political means (either by the incumbent party or one elected to replace it), not by wholesale constitutional change. British voters deciding British issues, which was the entire point of Brexit. It really is that simple.
