You speak as if the EU is somehow divorced from the national governments, and is imposing its will to the helpless states that compose it.
The commissioners that propose laws are appointed by each national government. The national governments of each member state is all in on this.
NATO is not a political institution. It is a defense treaty (this one completely outside the realm of democracy).
A defence treaty is obviously a very political institution.
Obviously not in the sense the person I was replying to meant, considering their claim is that the EU should not be considered one.
