The European Commission's members are sent there by the national governments. Elect another parliament/government if you don't like who yours did sent.

It's easier to vote "yes" in an quit the EU referendum than what you suggest. Which is what the Brits actually did. The former works while the latter doesn't.

We don't elect governments over here, just Parliament and President.

That’s like saying if you don’t like a police officer then elect a different city council. Parliament members don’t campaign on who they’ll nominate to the EU commission. Brexit can’t come fast enough.
Thank God for the Queen and the Lords eh?
