Corrupted EU leaders chose Ursula von der Leyen as their pick to replace Jean-Claude Juncker as the leader of the European Union’s executive branch, this absolutely, despite the fact she was not even on the bloody ballot paper as a candidate and has no manifesto. Didn't you remainers quickly condemn Brexit Party recently for not having a Manifesto - when it suits I guess - which is so pathetic.

The European Council effectively ignored the European parliament’s spitzenkandidat, or “lead candidate” system, which was meant to inject an element of democracy into the selection of commission president, instead nominating the defence minister, who is largely unknown outside of Germany.

The above clearly shows the EU is not a democracy, it is a totally corrupt and disgusting institution, forced upon us because of what?

Nothing - we need to get the hell out, enough of this corrupt bollocks - we need to get out now.
The MEPs can veto or approve the election of the President and the Commissioners - sounds fairly democratic to me...
