Adding layers of indirection makes it less democratic. We should be able to vote for them directly.

- saubeidl 1y agoSure it does. But one layer of indirection is not crazy, that's the way any minister in any country works - or the way the US presidency does. You can't directly elect every single official - it just doesn't scale. It also doesn't really make sense in the commissioner case as different commissioners have different portfolios and which country gets what is subject to negotiation between member states.
