The Eu legislature is un-elected and unaccountable. Only the un-elected commission can propose legislation.
True - there is a fig-leaf of democracy in an elected Eu Parliament. But this is an emasculated talking shop. It cannot instigate legislation, which has to be the prime reason for any parliament. The Eu Parliaments powers are for all intents and purposes, little more than the UK House of Lords.
This is wrong.
But worse than this, is the way the Eu bends democracy to breaking point in order to get its way.
Several times treaties have been legitimately and democratically rejected by national referenda. On each occasion the Eu has instigated a fear campaign and forced another referendum within the country concerned to reverse the decision.
Even worse they can (and have) deliberately overthrown democratic decisions. The worst and most flagrant example of this involved the defunct EU Constitution and the subsequent affront to democracy called the Treaty of Lisbon.
I'll just remind you how this shocking anti-democratic coup took place.
The original Eu Constitution was vetoed by two referenda in France and Holland. Further referenda vetoes were certain.
Consequently the Eu Constitution (per-se) was dropped.
A victory for democracy?
Hardly.
By sleight of hand the Commission resurrected the constitution.
They replaced it with the (deliberately) unintelligible Treaty of Lisbon. It is unintelligible because it is in essence a set of line by line amendments to existing treaties. They are amended to reflect the content of the vetoed constitution.
As an amendment to existing treaties, the Treaty of Lisbon did not require countries to exercise a referendum. Only Ireland held a referendum. They vetoed the Treaty of Lisbon. Undeterred, the Eu Oligarchy forced a re-run. After a scare campaign the result was reversed.
Democracy was defeated. The ruling Eu Oligarchy ignored the true wishes of the peoples of the Eu. They imposed their Eu Constitution.
Such actions demonstrate a total contempt for democratic rule.
