That is orthogonal to my point. With the current system you get Cathy Ashton and Barroso and the farce that is the Ukraine. If people in positions of significant power are not elected directly by the people then said people have no way to remove them from power. That is not democratic.

The very fact that the EU is designed in this way speaks to the mindset of those in Brussels and while it might not concern you, it concerns me.
