10%. May be is a bit too low, but it is not 55% for sure. To get higher numbers like over 25% lets say, you need to take a very broad approach like European acts motivates countries to create specific laws along those recomendary guidelines/procedures/best practices and such. I find that to be very dishonest. Everyone has best practices suits.
As for the one step or two step representative democracies. I find it okay honestly. The only way i can see direct democracy for every position is possible can be online voting. So unless all countries in the EU implement online voting then having elections/votes all the times is simply too pricy and realistically people are not going to vote for smaller positions. It is hard to get them to vote for municipal elections, now imagine people voting on your minister of IT. Online voting is the future.

I am a Eurosceptic but not a Europhobe. What this means is that I want the European Union to continue existing but in a reformed state. I do not deny the problems of the EU and i try to realistically analyze them with the situations in our countries and solutions that might be implemented.
I do not think that any nation is hopeless to change; however, I think that some nations do require a lot more effort than others to become changed. - Verv

In the US the "one-step" representative democracy in Washington is already despised by most citizens. What makes you think a 2-step representative democracy in Brussels will fare better in the long term?
