So he was elected by a majority of the European Council. One of whom is the national head of government in my country. Who is there by virtue of being the leader of the party which had the most MPs in the last election, when factoring in an alliance with another party. And the MPs elected by a majority of votes in their constituencies, no matter how slim.
You can say "that's democracy", but it's so diluted it's almost homeopathic.

Like in many democratic countries, the head of the EU executive body is not directly elected by the people.
