Umm? The United States of America? Originally two and a half of three branches of government were indirectly elected. Today it's two of three. That half was the U.S. Senate, who ascended by state legislatures, not voted on. And today still federal judges are not elected, and the presidency is indirectly elected via the Electoral College. What matters is the accountability, not the unelected aspect. The U.S. is increasingly more centralized as history goes on, it used to be more things were left up to the states, i.e. federalism, a.k.a. a multinational organization.

Just because my country does it doesn't mean I agree with it. I feel that the public should have a streamlined voting process for making their opinions heard on ever government related matter
