It's ironic how you took it the wrong way, as if I didn't know it was by design and think that "the EU doesn't have enough power or doesn't remove enough sovereignty from the member states".

My problem is exactly that it removes sovereignty and citizens of each country have a weakened democracy and representation because of it.

The capacity to effect change is extremely low thanks to both parliamentary systems and the supranational EU.

The EU has some convenient things that one can benefit from, so people don't care to have the other conversation (or are simply authoritarian).
