50-50 the EU will collapse?

if it continues to act like a polite bureau, not voted by the people directly, appointing each other and waffle about democracy which in fact is not a real representative, not to mention direct, democracy, the EU will fail.

700 members of EU Parliament are elected. EU Commission members are appointed.

that's correct: they're elected in their home-country. They're not elected European wide. So there is no participation to vote and influence in other countries. You get as a result these corrupt clowns and lobby groomed clowns. This is even one level lower then a representative democracy. The EU is a Con-Federation not a Federation. That's all together makes the entire set-up more like one of this polite - bureaus we know from 50 years ago in Moscow. Above all, however, there is not even the slightest trace of DIRECT DEMOCRACY. The concept of "Nation Europe" was already a pamphlet published in the 60/70s by the Nazi and NPD supporter Norbert Frey. Anyone reading his posts today would think he had written the instruction manual for the EU constitution.
