Don't forget the decades of the UK public not bothering to vote in a EU

Oddly, the same is being said about our parliament too. Proved by the low
turnout in so many by elections . If a turnout is how you gauge such
things.

By noticing that when the voters are ****ed off enough about
what the current set of clowns have done, the turnout increases
ant the current set of clowns get the bums rush at the ballot box
in much higher numbers than usual. No point in doing that with
the EP because the current set of clowns done even get to write
the legislation or amend current legislation, they just get to
rubber stamp what unelected bureaucrats present to the EP.
