the relative power of the Commission wasn't the issue here, the question was about their "elected" or otherwise nature and it seems pretty certain that this is a body which is accountable and elected. The power issue is a different argument. As has been said, that is something which is far from ideal. The conflation of "unelected" and the way in which power is distributed is a way of muddying the argument when it's clear that the Commission is indeed elected. The points about the upper house and the monarchy also remain.
