That for sure. But we didn't have problems such as this, where the EU commission representative had virtually zero approval, without the EU. There are no safe guards, and it goes completely around ours - and yes, we do have them! That's not good democracy.
Our representation in EU parliament of course wasn't able to do anything about it since it has less than 2.5% of seats - and the national parliament (that would've surely voted against it) was thus forced to incorporate it, even though everybody here hates it.
A country where nobody wants something and yet it happens is not a democracy, it merely acts like one with all this voting and parliaments.
