The [[European Commission]] is the non-[[democracy|democratic]], unelected [[Politburo]] of the European Union.
In September 2009 Jose Manuel Barroso, was re-elected as president of the [[European Commission]] after the European Parliament voted to give him a second term. This ended weeks of uncertainty during which Socialist, Green and Liberal critics tried to block Mr Barroso's candidacy on the grounds that he had yielded too much power to national governments and promoted the kind of free-market liberalism that led to the financial crisis.
