People demonstrate in the UK because the UK government makes laws and
they have no control over it. They can vote, but even if a significant
proportion of the population share their views they won't have these
views represented in parliament because of the nature of the political
system.

But, if we go by your definition of control (which seems to basically
be having a vote) then you actually do have control over the EU. You
can vote for a member of the European Parliament and you can also vote
in the UK. Your vote in the UK can help decide what our government
decides to do in Europe.
