    So the leitmotif of most Brexopaths when explaining their loathing of the

    EU Commission is its failure of the most fundamental test of democratic legitimacy, that of having been voted for.

    1. I am no Brexopath. I am deeply ambivalent about the whole matter, although drawn towards the Brexit side by the antics of Soubry and her fellow authoritarian leftists.

    2. Of all the things I object to about the EU, a lack of democracy isn't really one of them; since I don't believe in universal suffrage I'm not really qualified to comment on the matter.

    3. Tony Blair and his socilialist fellow travellers already tore the heart out of the HoL, didn't they?

    I'd happily have them all shot and the gold leaf flogged off to the highest bidder...

    You're living in a fantasy world, h. A land where there are no smelly jobbies to be tugged free and where people have imaginary responses to suit your strange preconceptions.

    Ah yes. Your default response when you are losing the argument. Make derogatory comments about the fact I earn a living engaged in honest toil. Why must you be so beastly c

    'Doubtless' here meaning 'not', I assume? Because that bit of whataboutery simply doesn't work. The House of Lords is wholly unfit for purpose, being packed to the rafters by patronage appointees from the political mainstream.

    Also, it may have escaped your attention, h, but there are few Brexiteers with a good word to say about the passionately Europhile House of Lords.
