All the commission members are elected in the respective member states elections... Ehy isn't that democratic? Rotating presendency, nice thing for an organisation made up of 26 member nations. And all those ministers are nominated following democratic elections in each member state. And as such, they are very much accountable to their electorate every 4-5 years.

I can confirm, you don't.

My view is that the design of governing bodies is another area of engineering, and you can learn a lot about design goals by looking at the resulting systems. But I realize this can also become very personal.
- hef19898 3y agoDefining structures of government is not engineering, trying to apply the principles to both doesn't work.
- matthewdgreen 3y agoI don’t agree with that statement at all. I think it encompasses a very myopic definition of engineering, and implies that humans can’t build or evaluate government structures on the basis of specific design goals.
