The fact that there is no equivalent of a PM is one reason why the European parliament is undemocratic as the record, speeches and appeal of a would be PM is, quite rightly, a major factor in elections. We should get to choose our leaders, not be led by people we have never heard of, chosen behind closed doors by other people we have never heard of.
We choose our leaders within the EU much as we do within the U.K. government - ie in all practical senses we get very little direct say at all. Even within HMG you personally get to vote for your local MP, and that’s it. You don’t choose the leaders, the deputies, the cabinet, nothing.
Also the EU parliament cannot propose laws, only vote on those put forward by the unelected commission.
