I won't even comment on the YT vid but just generally Terre - it's always a bad idea to devil-ize something for it's later mistaken results when it was a good idea to start of.
Democracy in general, is a brilliant idea.

I'm not saying this is the fault of Democracy. The entire video is there to show that the EU is in fact NOT democratic.
I'm not a firm believer in Democracy, this is true. But I would prefer centralized power over a decentralized Bureaucracy any day of the week, especially an unelected one >.>

Democracy is just a system. Like any other form of govt, it's the people that make it to the top that make it good or bad. Also like any other system, it has both good and bad points.
As for the EU... It owes a great deal to the Holy Roman Empire in both concept and execution. There was nothing truly democratic about that, either.
