The problem is if the people of England is correct in the assertion that it has given away too much Democratic power to unelected political bodies, and I am not the one to answer that. I am just saying dismissing their concerns seem a bit unproductive.

As I understand it, the original goal was to insulate senators somewhat from populist influence. But yes, I get that this was a concern for Brexit supporters. I'm just arguing that Russia exploited it.
