        Through a collegial organ and not directly. Essentially the same system.

        I would prefer as well to have direct elections for all positions in the EU but I think that would scare too much the politians.

        Can you imagine a german campaigning in Spain or a greek in Austria?

        Hello for Portugal!

        We could some lobbyists down here. Especially on the environmental front. But, then again, nobody really knows or understands how this country works, so… maybe it is for the better.
