1) The people of the EU voted for their chosen MEPs.
2) The MEPs belong to political parties on a national level, UKIP, Labour, Christian Union etc etc.
3) In the EU, the national political parties form alliances based on broadly agreed political principles: the centre left, the centre right, the extreme right etc. etc.
4) The parties of the centre right won the highest number of seats in the EU parliament, (the highest number of MEPs); thus it is the centre right parties, formed into a political bloc known as the European People's Party who get to nominate their candidate for EU President.
5) Their nomination is Claude Junker. And David Cameron et al don't like Claude Junker so they are attempting to back pedal on agreements they made over six years ago, and ride roughshod over the democractic coice of millions of Europeans.
Millions of Europeans who did understand the importance of these elections because their media aren't all ran by capitalist psychos who are hell bent on ensuring government does best for their shareholders and rich chums in the corporate world.
