We vote them. Might not give the best of results sometimes, but people in Europe go to the ballots and cast a vote to send people there. It's not like the boa

  You don’t get to vote for the members of the commission they all are appointed. And the parliament is a joke it can’t even propose legislation they just rubber-stamp what’s sent to them by the commission. They also don’t get a say in appointing individual members of the commission only the president. However the current president was probably the most incompetent high ranking politician in Germany so maybe they shouldn’t get a vote on that either… the parliament is just a way for local parties to send away noisy politicians away for a few years by giving them a cushy job or just a place to retire for older popular ones. Hardly anyone in Europe takes it seriously which is reflected in its composition…

    > You don’t get to vote for the members of the commission they all are appointed. That's not how EU works, I know, I worked for them. > They also don’t get a say in appointing individual members of the commission only the president. That's false. Everything is online on the EU website, it's no use to lie about it when everyone can read the original regulation directly from the source. > Hardly anyone in Europe takes it seriously which is reflected in its composition… That's utter bullshit, your misinformation doesn't work here.
