Yeah, in theory ans yet, Ursel is still there so whatever.

Ursela is there because politicians(individual countries leaders) want here there. She is convenient scape goat for things that would hurt politicians image at home, so they let commission do the dirty work, so they can say it wasn't their fault.

I don’t like her either, but why do you think that’s undemocratic when a majority of the European Parliament voted for her?

Democracy is when people vote for things, not when politicians vote for more politicians

Not cow towing to you doesn't make any system undemocratic. It does make you a little tyrant refusing to recognize the will of others.

Haven't heard that so far. Made me chuckle.

Read some of your other comments and you seem quite the pro-EU "western democratic values" sycophant who clearly isn't interested in discourse since everyone else is just spewing bullshit. Not wasting any more time here.

Sorry if me calling out the utterly false "EU isn't democratic" BS hurts you. Especially when anyone with basic education can see it's modeled pretty much after all other parlementary democracies.

I also notice that at no point was any support given in the bs claims - just online propaganda sound bite with no substance.

And yes, I think EU gave me a lot as a citizen and I'm invested in it's success because it makes my life and life of my family better. I'm sorry if wanting my country to be better makes you angry.

You infer emotion where there is none. Not every disagreement stems from anger. Good luck to you.
