Nobody elected her in the first place, this is ridiculous. She's been terrible at every job she had.

She was elected by the European Parliament (elected by all citizens) at the proposal of the council, which is formed by the heads of government (elected by all citizens).

I'm not saying that the system is good, but between that and not being chosen by anyone, I think there is a lot of distance. Now she is clearly the EPP candidate so whoever votes for them will know who they vote for, I wish the rest of the groups did the same.

If we nitpicky here: She is the CDU/CSU candidate now. The EPP candidate is formally decided next month.
