Ah, well. Back to the fells, then
Dave, imagine if the Lords and Commons roles were reversed.

That is the nearest I can come to explaining the issue.

The unelected body in the EU is the one that sets rules and regs and the elected body only has the potential to review, at times reject or amend but the elected EU body is the subordinate body.
