it is not about that specific fuck up about to go down, but about all the many proposition coming from the commission. Propositions which couldn't be introduced in a normal parliament, because they would be discussed and citizens would be at alert. E.g. the data retention laws.

The EU distanced itself so far from it's citizens, most topics things don't reach the people here and this "regulation" is the best example.

The EU is not democratic at all. The parliament members can't even propose new legislations and EU laws are not always compatible with nation constitutions which renders it's purpose close to illegitimate.
