The EU is a reborn Soviet Union - evidence (Timcast video) (Public Board)
I'm not convinced but there is no question that the EU is pretty much a totalitarian organisation.
Also, you and Tim's guest missed the biggest issue of all: election results that the EU does not like are nullified (eg Georgescu in Romania) or worked around (eg Freedom Party in Austria, AfD in Germany) and candidates that the EU does not like are banned (eg Georgescu in Romania and le Pen in France).
