Can you say exactly why the EU is unnaccountable? Genuinely curious, because my understanding is that MEPs have the final say and EU citizens get to vote for them; the fact that they tended not to engage in that in the UK pre-Brexit wasn't the fault of the EU. If that's not a mistaken understanding then by the same logic national governments are equally unaccountable, no?
