> It makes the affronts even more egregious when you realize EU citizens have little democratic control over the the European Commission and European Council which accounts for 2/3 of the European legislative body. Both the European Commission and the European Council are just the democratically elected national governments. So I do not get why you want more national sovereignty, but see problems with the Commission and the Council. They are basically the organs in the EU that ensure that national sovereignty is kept. Without them the directly democratically elected European Parliament cannot do anything (which I think should be changed).
