I'm not saying germany and france dont have the most influence over the EU behind the scenes, but as far as figureheads I think this is the first time there's a german president of either the commission or council

Your actually right. I hold my hands up there and i did think Juncker was German. My actualy frustration however is that were appointing leaders from the most powerful country in the superstate and this is bad.
Germany in particular has been less than kind to the states that suffered most during the economic crash and were allowed to get away with it because initially they were very small (Greece, Ireland, Romania) until the Italians got into trouble and then people started to notice that bailing out countries at high rates of interest within their own federal state is not a virtous business.
