It cannot be stated too often or too vigorously enough that this supranational model of governance has been imposed without a true public mandate; it was and remains an elite project. Here in the Netherlands 2005 we had a referendum on the proposed EU constitution, as was also the case in France, and in both countries majorities voted against it, I voted NO too, but this outcome was simply ignored and the constitution was adopted anyway in 2009, rebranded as the Lisbon Treaty. The EU is not simply undemocratic, it is actively ANTI-democratic. It has been a dreadful experiment and it will not end well.
