It functions exactly the same as an average EU country, you vote for a party, which have a vote on accepting or rejecting the proposal for the current proposed government (which is handpicked by political parties).

In the EU it works exactly the same: you vote for a party, which has a vote on accepting or rejecting the proposal for the current proposed commission (where there has to be 1 nominee from each member state and is handpicked by the council of European Union, i.e. your ELECTED state ministers)[1][2].

Can the EU become more democratic? Absolutely, but that will be at the expense of EU member state's sovereignty, which is why it looks like it does right now.

You have just confirmed my point.

There is no EU country that has a Council like that. Heads of state very often don't represent the majority of a country.

>You have just confirmed my point.

No all you've shown is that you did not read my sources nor my comment.

As is shown by you confusing the Council of European Union and the European Council.

Not only that, but you show no real evidence of knowing even how elections with in EU countries, since EU member states, with the exception of hungary, all have a council deciding who will be a nominee for their version of a commission, the only small difference is that these councils are unofficial in EU member states as it is a matter of political party/coalition concern and not a national concern, as IS the case with the EU.

So if anything EU is more "official" in being a democracy than even member states, when it comes to transparency of deciding the nominees for various positions, something NOT official in average EU member states.
