>this is not really democracy

Literally every single part of the EU apparatus is democratic. Every single bit.

The European Council consists of the Heads of Government of the EU states. If your Head of Government isn't democratically elected then you're already fucked and the EU isn't making anything worse.

The European Commission is chosen by the European Council, so derives its mandate from that.

The European Parliament is literally elected.

The Council of the European Union is basically 'all the agricultural ministers' or 'all the finance ministers' or 'all the defence ministers' etc. Obviously these people all have democratic mandates in their home countries, thus the body as a whole has a democratic mandate.

By no means in any way is there any possible justification for describing the EU has undemocratic. It's actually much MORE democratic than many of its members.
