I think this shows how much we need better democratic institutions like a full functioning parliament and (in my view) direct democracy on EU level.

If the councils make stupid ideas, citizen could start an initiative or at least the MEP can annoy the commission.

No it doesn't because it's member states not the commission push banners.

Which is thanks to the same member states for pushing the EU to have the council in the first place.
