I am a very pro-EU member of the Union and I definitely think the EU is on a roll with regulation lately (e.g. timely arrival of GDPR, reduction is subsidies for less democratic members). However I am one of those pro people who think it's good to be critical. The nature of democracy in the EU is a good question that needs to be resolved. Only Ireland seems to have been consistent about asking the actual people for their thoughts of big changes being made in the EU. It's even questionable if Junker was 'elected' indirectly by the elected governments and it's almost certain he would never have been directly elected by the people of the EU given what would have emerged about tax 'avoidance' in Luxembourg. Without wanting to give support to the English tabloid media, I think those questioning the democratic nature of the EU have a valid argument and the downvoting of those doing so above surprises me. :)
