If a lot of people across EU is concerned about how democratic is the EU governance, can't we change this without necessary destroying the EU first?

Then this majority of EU-sceptic governments could achieve a majority either in the Council or in the Commission, and propose laws to change the EU governance. Then the Parliament would have to accept these laws. I think it would have to be the Council, it's difficult to see the Commission proposing a law that decreases the power of the Commission.
