ok.
true. But the council isn't who I'm voting for here either.
true. The "parliament" is similar to the House of Lords in that respect, although it has to make its decision in parallel with the Council of Ministers, which is also not elected.

the council is made up of the elected governments of the member states, I'm not sure it's fair to complain that we don't get to vote in all of the elections.

only I struggle to find the enthusiasm to vote for a body of people who can't actually implement any policies I agree with (which is normally how I'd make my decision), but can only delay or revise legislation that I can't possibly predict in advance.
(what I said was true as well, btw...)
