you sound as if you are confusing democracy with a kingdom in which a wise king rules and who simply does everything right for everyone.

every member of the EU has elected his own representatives. if these are the wrong ones then you shouldn't blame the donkey for eating the flowers in the garden but the one who put him in the garden.

i think it's very funny when people who don't even understand the basics of democracy and are actually supporters of dictatorship get upset about a lack of democracy.

there is no british, german, french or dutch democracy. there is only the majority decision. and even if it were wrong you would have to live with it as a follower of democracy. democracy is the opposite of you because it is the opposite of egoism.
