It is very complex to answer to an even more complex question that relates to the EU because it has a lot of duties and a lot of challenges and with a lot of duties or better said with great duties comes great responsibility and with great responsibility under greatly volatile circumstances it becomes hard to coordinate all into an integrative whole. It would be a very backward thing to move from integration to disintegration. Freedom of choice should remain bus also the will for integration shall revive and so the hope that unconstructive circumstances will vanish to create space for constructive circumstances in the form of a dialogue to re-integrate and continue integration for everyone who fulfils the criteria. For sure the majority stands for integration. For sure the majority stands for integration
A more detailed read of references provided and more would allow me to give a better response but for now I decided to share the above.
My apologies for the inconvenienc
Yes and no. Democracy in itself is an evolving phenomenon that is subject to review. There is no one universal democratic model that is applicable to all contexts. The EU is a creation of the European Union Member States. The member states are the parents and the EU, the child. Usually, the child inherits physical and behavioural charscteristics from the parent. EU member States do suffer from, some form of democratic deficit and consequently the EU does also suffer from it, as it inherited the deficiency from its parent ( MS). It is therefore unfair to criticise the child for resembling its parents. The argument which tends to fault the EU as totally suffering from democratic deficit is misplaced. The EU is not less democratic than its Member States and it does not suffer democratic deficit more than the Member States themselves.
In a nutshell, the Member States should reform their democratic institutions and the EU institutions will automatically synchronise with reforms undertaken at Member States level.
Yes, it does. Mainly because EU tries to follow more of the "formal" democracy, but not always - the "real" democracy.
