> The European Commission has far too much power, and answers far too little to the populace. In reality, they want to be dictators.
As much as I hate the political leaning of the Commission, this is complete bullshit.
The commission is named by the member states' head, with the head of the commission and the individual commissioners' nomination being validated by the European parliament.

Yes they aren't elected, but that's no different from a minister in most country, nobody elected the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the UK, the Secretary of Defense in the US or the Ministre de l'Intérieur in France. But we don't call them wannabe dictators because that would be silly.
That's equally silly when talking about the European commission.
