    Every country has its own election laws. Some countries vote for person, some for party in some you can choose both. Some countries have "lists" which is like party, but not actual party. Methods that are used are also different in every country, some use percentage some more advanced methods. All those democracies have own system. That is 28 different election systems combination.

    The real explanation is this fact - The EU elections are a masquerade. The EU "Parliament" is not a true Parliament, it has no powers to produce laws, 27 "unelected" EU commissioners make the laws and the mickey mouse EU "parliament" rubber stamps what laws the Commisars send down to them. FACT. DYOR.

The EU parliament can also make the commission resign by a 2/3 majority vote. Even if the parliament has not the right to initiate a bill, it control the commission like the parlement control the government in any parliamentary democracy.

That was the largest democratic exercise on the planet, where constitutionally a polling booth is available within 2 kilometers or less from every citizen, from urban cities to villages to mountains to jungles, and everything in between.

Again it is not perfect but this way means power is shared (and actually tilted towards the national Govs). -edit.

    The reason for some 'undemocratic' aspects of the EU is to protect the sovreignty of the Member States. Especially These Days the two Major cririzisms against the EU are 'undemocratic' and 'infringing in sovreignty ' the EU the way it is Now is a compromise between those two aspects. That said, every body of the EU is elected or chosen via direct or indirect Democracy. The are either voted for by their Citizen, or the Governments of the Nations who themselves are democratic.

    @Russian Troll so Im told Commission is appointed by governments of members states. Those are all elected. If you want better commission you should have voted better to elect better government in your country which would appointed better commission. EU is club of countries. Not single country. We should have only such legislature with which member states agree. So I disagree with parliament having right to propose laws. You can already see how domestic issues in big populous countries are driving composition of parliament. One hashtag movement with some panic on social media and they can elect some stupidity like ban on nuclear energy or something. Germany has 99 MEPs, Finland has 13. Guess Finland can go back to candles because they aren’t populous enough. Parliament it there to affirm that majority of EU population agrees with decisions of governments of member states. It’s same logic but other way around. Germany, France, UK and Italy have bigger population then rest of EU. So they won’t be outvoted by groups of small countries. They still can reject any piece of legislation in parliament.

    Everyone who is in the EU was voted directly or indirectly by the people if you think about it. The European Parliament was voted directly, the European Commission is voted directly through the national elections. (People vote for the party that controls the national government, and then the national government represents them). And with the Council of EU, they are ministers who rotate from the national governments. (their party was elected to hold seats in government). This means that all three bodies were elected, so directly and some indirectly.

The Commission is also made up of 28 members but they are not elected, 1 of those members (the President) is nominated by the European Council (which can be any EU citizen) who is then approved by the Parliament. The other 27 members are then nominated by the Council of the EU and President together (again they can be anyone so long as they are an EU citizen, the only condition being that each EU member state can only have a single commissioner). Those 28 Commissioners are then either approved or rejected by the European Parliament. Since it is the Commission that actually writes EU law and they are at no point actually elected by EU citizens then it is not a democratic process.

    @Comrade Boulhya Almojahid Nothing i can post proves. Nothing you can post proves. It's history it can be manipulated both ways. From my sources democracy within a small clique of citizens does not equal democracy thats the kind of thing i believe. See? For many people its more about feelings and less about sence. Now ask yourself : Why so many people hates USSR and so few deeply hate EU? After you will be able to answer me this question than we can discuss. Until then i wish you good day.
