One thing I can't understand about Brexiteers is that they're desperate to escape the influence of 'unelected bureaucrats', but they're more than happy to be dictated to by an unelected House of Lords, and that other pillar of British freedom and democracy, a hereditary monarchy! Any of the Captain Mainwarings on this forum care to explain that to me?

The Queen doesn't make laws, she is a figurehead. House of Lords amend Laws not propose them... You stupid boy.

Many remainers and brexiteers would like to see the HoL reformed further.
Perhaps you should learn a bit more before you throw insults around and post more seriously uneducated posts.
The alternative to a neutral non political figurehead such as the Queen who brings in millions of pounds to the treasury and acts as a much need source of non partisan cohesion in our parliamentary system is a President Blair or Trump.
Voting leave will restore the ability to get rid of your government and law makers peacefully.

We already have 'the ability to get rid of our lawmakers', oh dear. It's called a general election and last year Lewes District did just that - got rid of it's sitting MP. How will that change if we leave EU ?

Belladonna if 60% of our laws come from Brussels and these are proposed by an unelected commission please enlighten me how you get rid of them?
If we leave 100% of laws will be made by our elected government.

@Belladonna Currently our elected MPs and Governemt don't actually make the laws we have to abide by, so you need to understand they come from the EU and thrust upon our Government (helpless) and more importantly us. We would rather make up our own legislation thank you.
