That was quite a bad move indeed. I personally watched the debates as well and was quite disappointed to see a totally different "winner". Still the solution was a compromise and this is what really defines the EU. I'm not sure how much the televised campaign mattered as the head of EC was voted by the European Parliament not by people back home but yeah more transparency would be welcome. Now let's review another twist of democracy. How is that a "remainer"(May) become the person to deliver the victory of the "leave" campaign? There wasn't much televised campaign either if I recall correctly. Would a direct election of the EC make EU more democratic? Should the UK elect the PM that way as well? Not many voted for Boris either, right?
