Ya, not even close to a democracy.
What's happened over many decades is that more and more of the rule making power
has moved to the bureaucracy. Then the legislature (unconstitutionally) ceded
authority to the bureaucracy (You might remember the "we have to pass
the law before we can know what's in it" from Pelosi.).
So the legislature basically passes a law that says "Agency X has the authority
to make the rules governing Y." So a bunch of unelected, unaccountable
morons get to, effectively, make law.
And the Supreme Court has a policy of defering to the "experts" (supposedly
the people in said bureaucracy).

I thought that was the main reason the UK wanted out of the EU.

That's what happens at the beginning. But it always ends poorly. Usually
for everyone.
