Who elected the new EU president?

Where do you find a problem with the degree of democracy that is available in the EU to the people and its representatives, if you want to keep sovereignty in your own country?

Democracy in the EU has to be different, if you do not want to give up the sovereignty of each individual country.

In each member state, people elect parties who determine who the Prime minister will be. Once the election is won, the cabinet is formed and that cabinet has all the executive powers over their territory.

The EU can not work that way, because then you would not have individual governments in each member state anymore, and there has never been an intention or initiative to change that.

Therefore, the individual governments form the European Council, whose president rotated in the past every 6 months according to a preset schedule. It is the main decision-making institution. It decides on what laws will be implemented. All 27 member states have a vote.

The President of the European Council is a position in the EU that chairs the European Council. Formerly an unofficial position, it rotated between member states every six months. Under the Treaty of Lisbon, this rotating system is replaced by a permanent post, and the person is elected by the Presidents/Prime Ministers of all the 27 member states..

The lack of accountability to MEPs or national parliamentarians has also cast doubt as to whether national leaders will in practice stand behind the President on major issues. The President under the rotational system simply had the mandate of their member state while the permanent position is elected by the rest of the European Council.

There have been calls by some, such as German interior minister Wolfgang Schäuble, for direct elections to take place to give the President a mandate, this would strengthen the post within the European Council allowing for stronger leadership in addition to addressing the question of democratic legitimacy in the EU. However, this might cause conflict with Parliament's democratic mandate or a potential mandate for the Commission

The EU commission acts with complete political independence and its job is to uphold the interests of the EU as a whole, it is the guardian of the treaties that the Council has agreed on and it ensures that those agreements are adhered to.It puts the decisions by the council into action.

The EU Parliament is elected directly by the 500m people in the EU every five years with general elections. It votes and gives thereby assent to the EU commission and the EU Councils laws and regulations. It has the power to throw out legislation if it disagrees. There are groups of organisations within it that reflect their political views, so you have centre-left, centre-right, left, right, green, extreme left, extreme right political groups, same as in any country and in similar proportions as is reflected in the 500m people.

I hope this explains to you how the democracy works. It is complicated because it is fair.

all 25 EU members will be eligible to vote for the new EU president? So in theory there is no pressure here. And for the first time any vote from EU members will be counted equally regardless their size and population (according to the Libone Treaty). According to the latest news, HERMAN VAN ROMPUY from Belgium has been elected as the first EU president.

the reason your confuse is with the aid of fact they do no longer desire to inform you the intricacies of the european with the aid of fact its between the main corrupt companies interior the worldwide, lol in keeping with risk at the back of the labour party. ecu presidency is desperate upon by the applicants friends, so in actuality in basic terms those employed greater up in the european. you do not have a say interior the undertaking. Blair wont get the activity in view that could reason Britain to take the belief of finished detachment from the union lots extra heavily, particularly that they have been instructed that the utilising of Tony Blair to that place is purely no longer tolerated. they could't relatively locate the money for to lose us in case you think approximately we are one in each of their huge 4, for this reason why they have had us in a stranglehold since 1993 whilst they replaced the EEC into the european ( undesirable flow so a techniques as i'm worried). ultimately the european's grasp plan is to be one super state. You get no experience of nationwide delight or subculture only one huge mass of persons. additionally they are going to chop up a rustic in 2 or extra divides to in super condition into its mapping platforms etc. You wont get a say interior the possibilities the two and on countless issues we already do no longer so its a dictatorship; a totalitarian style of governance at suitable. we are going to rarely have any impression in any respect. we are nevertheless extra effective than in a position to tutor around to the european and tell it to bugger off, nevertheless some absolutely everyone seems to be defeatist and learn ourselves doomed - in any different case referred to as drama queens. we are no longer doomed yet we could desire to consistently at suitable in basic terms have an EEC no longer an ecu. (strategies on the EEC could be got here upon on wikipedia and different strategies web sites).

the EU commission behind closed doors. the commission is a non elected body and has usurped this power from the people

The same people who have screwed around with UK law for the past 30 odd years. Now that we are getting closer to a United States of Europe, get used to it.
