Alright then, let me rephrase that. The people have nothing to do with the elections of the leaders of the EU. Indeed, we could neglect to implement the legislation, but then we'd be punished in some small form or it'd be sneaked through some other way. However, if they shove it down our throats (which they can) we are powerless on almost every aspect. And even then, they just disguise it. The Latin is how I remember the fallacies, which are in themself quite easy to remember the English for. Let me ellaborate. The burden of proof - onus probandi, the fallacy of the people - argumentum ad populum, insulting the person or people behind the argument - argumentum ad hominem, and argumentum ab auctoritate is the appeal to authority, which is also a fallacy. You were trying to suggest that many supposedly "unbiased" (which they very much aren't) sources supported your claim, the many being the key words. You were also suggesting that these actually showed anything. Here we go again, Appeal to Authoirity. There's a reason it's officially labelled a fallacy.
