The point of mentioning flexing "democratic" status is, in general in these contexts (say, the EU), about unnatural distancing of government, i.e. having dramatic decisions over everybody taken by an entity "distant" from the sub-regions. As opposed to a federalism in which substantially the special rules over the special, and the broad rules only when appropriate.

At least in the EU commission they do their job, which is to write proposals, local governments lately have only been preoccupied by their own chairs. And it's basically the only place where "dramatic decisions" can be discussed right now in Europe. I would love that my National government focused on "privacy" and "E2E encryption" and sparkled a discussion about those topics in the parliament, instead of doing this: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/italy-migrant-deaths-minister-says-parents-to-blame-for-drowned-children-fg70q7zmx https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/italy-migrant-deaths-mini...
