No. Because I am sh*t at sales

So how is the UK more democratic than the EU?

As stated, the supreme leader and his entire government can be sacked at the next election. The leader and his second in command, and their families, are also evicted from their homes with no notice.

Junker was again calling for an EU army last week. And he can't be removed. Think about that for a minute.

Yes he can, maybe not by us directly but he can be removed by the European Parliament which is what nearly happened to Santer (he resigned instead.) But then again the European Parliament consists of the directly elected representatives of the people so really they answer to you, therefore if enough of you complain to their elected representative that the President is tulip, then they could remove him, so theoretically you are responsible for his office and removal

WHS.

Do you really want an elected EU President? To do that would give whoever it was a huge mandate and genuinely would put them above national leaders, which I certainly wouldn't want.

The lines of accountability between the electorates of sovereign states and the rulers and law makers in Brussels are so thin that they are irrelevant.

I'm sure Tony Blair thinks it's a good idea
