all the European Commissioners are appointees from elected members

Sorry Jom you will have to explain that. No EU Commissioner has to have ever stood for election, or indeed have ever been elected for any public office before being appointed as an EU Commissioner. Currently as you have been shown 94% or %94 of the UK Cabinet had to be elected Members of Parliament in order to be considered for appointment as a Cabinet position.
