    Since you like to repeat yourself, and since the facts have not changed, I will repeat the reply I already gave you, see below:

    "The pool of candidates for the EU Commission come from the selection by the ELECTED officials within each of the EU member states. The EU Commission members must be approved by the directly ELECTED EU Parliament. Any items they propose then need to be VOTED for by the directly ELECTED EU Parliament.

    So you have a pool of people who are chosen by their ELECTED governments of their home countries, chosen specifically to NOT represent their home country but the EU as a whole, whose approval to be a commissioner is made by the EU MP's and where anything they want to happen are then VOTED for or against by a group of EU MP's directly ELECTED by citizens of the EU member states.

    Governments "installing their own people" after having been VOTED IN to power by the people of their countries exactly what should be happening, that is called democracy, being VOTED IN is the mandate for the ELECTED government to be making exactly those decisions.

    The decision of that government on their EU Commissioner then needs to be approved by the EU MP's anyway.

    Quite contradictory to the "unelected" claim you have been parroting for weeks and the new "installing their own people" line that you've just added in now.

    What about the EU Council? You are suspiciously quiet about them., the 3rd major part of the EU you said are "unelected".

    You've gone from "the EU is unelected" to then changing your story to it's 2 of the 3 parts of the EU are "unelected" to now just having a misguided understanding of democracy where there are several rounds of approval by directly elected officials for only 1 of the 3 major parts of the EU."
