States will be outvoted only if they vote differently to everyone else in a process in which they have had their say. We have been outvoted in 2% of the EU laws passed since 1999. That's democracy for you. I've been outvoted in every general election since I was 18 in the constituencies I've lived in. Democracy. Get real, Keith. "Unelected bureaucrats making our laws" has been a lie for over forty years. Shed the little Englander stuff for once.
