    Zwiebel is correct, the EC is not elected by the people but by Parliament (and suggested by EU member states.)

      and national parliament is elected by people. Specifically to make choices delegated to them by the people. Choices such as who to nominate for ec. Vote for better parliament within the nations, get better ec.

        sure sure, but the statement of Zwiebel stands true, that the EC isn’t elected by the people.
