The EU is theoretically more representative than the US government, by the processes involved in Parliament members elections, however voter turnout is low and falling (down to 42% in 2009 and 2014). Compare with ~56% in the US during Presidential elections, and ~50% for House of Representatives elections. In the EU it climbed back to 50% in 2019 when voters massively bumped up parties not so pro-Europe (Farage, Le Pen and Salvini). It seems to me that, as the EU is less transparent and accountable than most member nations's governments, many voters lost interest then are now actively trying to (reform/destroy/escape from) it.
