"That is up to the people of that democracy."
Democracy means having the wherewithal to remove them
You have yet to suggest how that is possible
There is no reason why any single body of unelected people should have the authority to bock parliamentary legislation - that is what democracy is NOT about.
How do you suggest we go about removing them from office - wait for revelations of mass clerical abuse maybe.
I fully realise that there is no way they can me removed in a 'democratic' society that only pays lip-service to democracy.
You are still tiptoeing around the question
By what right are they where they are and why shouldn't they be answerable?
