This in standard in europe. Most places don't vote for their PM or President either, they're just the leader of the largest party in parliament and chosen by parliament
Generally a lot of people do vote for the PM i.e. chose the party to vote for based on it's leader(s)
Oh, if unelected officials is the standard, that's fine then. Move along.
Wait but the commission is assembled by the PMs / presidents… so it’s elected by people who were elected by people who elect.
