This is the thing right? When an EU body makes a bad decision or passes a bad law you get all these frankly disingenuous screaming about how terrible the EU is. Whereas no-onw ever takes bad legislation or laws passed by individual nations as a reason that, say, the USA or UK are terrible. If your argument is that the recriminations of bad EU decisions are too widespread - well that is the point of having a supranational organisation.
I won rehash my overall position on the EU as I've only got my phone (15 francs for a 1gb data package - one of those little disadvantages of not being in the EU which affects me but you guys can take for granted) and it's nothing you won't have read before. But yes, while there is a democratic deficit in the EU, I don't think it is inherent to it; or that it is inevitably worse than what would exist at the nation state level. And while the EU has been slow on that front, at least it seems like they have realised that there is a problem and there does seem to be a genuine enthusiasm about reforming it.
