@levenbrown I don't think that Rumpoy is that problematic. Comrade Barroso (wanna-be) emperor of europe is a different story. He thinks it is his job to single handedly guide the fate of europe and that he needs neither the peoples aproval nor their understanding, just their money to do so.
Someone who thinks the antidemocratic commission should reign over the continent, who compared the EU to old empires and who still things the EU should be stretched further, is definitely dangerous.

@Teranex He is not representing the people yet he is managing this forced financial abdication of member countries. Point is that power with no accountability means the people suffer, as history shows.

@SkyBlueAugust Why should he post be electable by the people, that would be total nonsense. He has no executive powers. He is only a deal-breaker between the governments.
