If the members of the EU's governance were held accountable directly to the people that would be a different beast.
Did you read that khan ?
Notices a bulge, CnN what's this?
Please do
^^ My next snowboarding suit right there
I wonder what your source is going to say, it sure is a mystery
Just read it lel
I have, when it was attached as an Open Source addendum to the briefing for my CG before going to meet with European Leaders.
What do you guys think?
Will a blog called the European Politics and Policy Blog say that the EU is run by unelected bureaucrats?
This really is a dozy
I have no faith in the EU, and that is based on it's actions not on pro and negative propaganda about it.
Let me amend that, I have faith that the EU will act in it's interests and not in the interest of the European people.
The problem in Britain, though, is that this new way of ‘electing’ the Commission President did not feel very democratic. None of the main British parties are in the EPP (the Conservatives left the EPP in 2009), and so British voters were not able to vote for Juncker (although they could vote against him).
Interesting system
being unable to vote for someone, but being able to vote against them
The fact that the members of the German Parliment are elected by the German Citizenry, means that they have to have the people intrests in mind since that is the standard on if they get re-elected or not.
Black what ? Commision is appointed
And cen be dissmissed through eu parliament vote
Yep
Each state appoints one guy
But can the European people ask for his removal directly?
Why be able to vote against him or not at all?
They cant same as they cant remove czech preaident
Or british pm
Or us president
Whats the deal there ?
They elect their own govs and ppl from those govs apoint the commisioners
The People can remove the US President, they just have to abide by the terms of the US constitution.
Allow me to fix your analogy
Please do
Imagine that the UK can vote to remove the US president
but not vote for him
Again
Citizen votes for national gov
Because unless im reading this wrong that is the power granted to the EU parliment
Citizen votes for eu prliament members
The EU parliment is elected by popular vote i believe
