Well if you look at just the new areas now covered by qualified majority voting in the Lisbon Treaty i.e no veto, you will see that member states can try and horse trade in the background but ultimately they are subject to a majority vote. Which means it doesn't matter if their whole population is against a piece of legislation covered by qmv they have to abide by it ergo ruled by Europe.
However as of 31/12/23 EU law no longer has supremacy over UK law aka Brexit.
