That isn't an answer to question I asked, I'm really intrigued why you 
think one country should dominate the others in the EP. And answering 
your statement: any organisation, be it a nation, your football club or 
an union of nations can be democratic.

The scale of nation-states is outdated just as the concept of 
city-states went out of date four centuries ago. That isn't to say that 
all of a sudden you lose your identity; it will change though. What _is_ 
an area of concern is that only things that need to be done on EU level 
go the the EU level.
