The EU should commit to continue democratizing its institutions, as it did when it gave the democratically elected European Parliament a voice in the selection of the European Commission president. For their part, EU member countries should recognize that they, as sovereign actors, chose integration, because the benefits of pooling their sovereignty outweighed the costs.
其实还存在一条中间道路。欧盟应继续推进制度民主化，就像允许民主选举产生的欧洲议会在选择在欧盟委员会主席时有发言权一样。而作为对手方的欧盟成员国则应当意识到，因为主权集中的收益大过成本，它们作为主权国家自愿选择了整合。
