The Cabinet is different. You have already elected those Ministers whereas you haven't elected the Brussels.

That's completely wrong, the members of the council are put forward by the elected government of each member of the EU. They didn't just walk in off the street looking for a job.
There is no requirement for UK cabinet members to be elected as MPs first, you do not have any say in the members of the U.K. cabinet. Currently the UK cabinet contains 1 unelected member.
Fundamentally there is no difference on how much say you have in the members of either.
I didn't vote for a single cabinet member, neither did anyone in Leicester or the whole of Yorkshire, guess this means the cabinet is completely unrepresentative and undemocratic.
