The EU has been designed so that no one in any position can abuse his (or her) powers or at least make it extremely difficult to do so, with an added layer of mistrust between the states requiring even more checks and balances so it can lead to some ridiculously complicated processes since not much can be done without a majority consensus.
Deciding to leave twitter or not will lead to a barrage of comments from all the countries, so I'm not even surprised that even that decision has to be carefully managed.
I'm poking fun but for all it's flaws the EU has achieved a surprising amount of things.
