		landemva on May 12, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Euro Is at $1.05–The Lowest It’s Been in Years Right, the people don't vote for the president. If the people are allowed to vote, people vote for change - Brexit, Trump. The people have little influence in what is being forced on them. I suspect this will end with some EU member States going their own way, after the people demand it.

Trump never had a majority vote for him in the US. So that case is very similar to the indirect voting you’re talking about wrt von der Leyen
