Was there a problem with horny in this thread before it was prohibited (apparently by 2B, who I still think is a questionable spokesperson for that)?

It's all elected directly or indirectly. The game actually works like this:

if you are leftish you complain about too much involvement of the national governments cause they are all neo-liberal as gently caress so you want more powers to parliament

if you are rightish, you complain about too much power of the parliament cause it's elected by too much forein'ers and cause it's too pro-EU and not right wing and nationalistic enough

Both things are called lack of democracy

it depends what you call the eu government

the commission is completely unelected but they're thrown softballs by bourgeois puppets put under scrutiny by MEPs and parliament has a say over if they are allowed in the commission

the eu council is made up by the leaders of government of the nation states and they tend to be elected now and again + the unelected president of the eu council which is just given to the lad who's shouted the least

right so in effect it’s more or less about as elected as any national gov’t inside the eu, lmao

The commission is nominated by the council and confirmed by parliament. If that counts as unelected then virtually the entire US federal government counts as unelected.

The European Parliament has its votes:seat ratio massively rigged in favor of smaller countries, yet somehow a lot of people consider it to have a good democratic legitimization.

That's to counteract the inherent advantage of being a large country. If countries like Germany or France want greater representation in parliament, they can just split up into smaller states.

He's literally the stereotype of the 'we lost two world wars but finally we have control of Europe' type of German. So yes he really does wish everyone would shut up before they have to 'greece' somebody else.
