The European Council is made up of the heads of state of the member nations, the Council of the EU is made up of appointees from the member state governments (so indirectly democratic), and the EUP is directly elected by the people. It's actually very similar to the way our legislative system was originally set up with one chamber appointed by the states and the other directly elected.

Indirectly democratic is the same as not democratic. I don't even like the fact that the FCC, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and such are unelected. People just being put into that much power is almost never a good thing.

Can you name me the leadership of the FCC? They decide what you can and can't do/have done to you when it comes to TV, Radio, and Internet.

Granted I also just don't like large government very much. Local people know their local needs/wants/issues more than anyone else. Do you think there'd be a waste-of-$1.5T dollar fighter jet program if the States had anything to say about it? States are required to have a Balanced Budget Amendment in their Constitution. The Federal Constitution is not. Just saying.
