each member state but not each member of a state..,,,,same with our government,  we elect them of course but then they make the laws and the rules. when you agree to the tos your in effect electing rendo to run the community, to modetate it and make sure it runs okay. to make sure certain things and rules are followed.  the only time individual members of have a say re europe is in a referendrum. and that is only by the grace of those in power.

the european community you speak of would only be analogous to a business guild where each business has an input.
