If we take "ordinary" to mean white, wealthy men from the Home Counties, then sure. But no-one could reasonably argue that membership of this private members' club is representative of anything else. Turning to the HoC, when we consider just how few seats are genuinely competitive, then we start to ...

Tory members are ordinary people?

I'm not sure your comparison works: the EU governance structures are different, and one could argue that the Commission is more akin to the civil service than the UK parliament. No-one elected Mark Sedwill...

Some people say that Remainers can be somewhat arrogant - and here you are high-highhan...

It's not really that split, though, is it? On the one side you've got the Brexit party supporter Hoey, Kinnock and a handful of others who are scared for their seats and who don't understand that "leave seat" isn't the same thing as "must be leave to win" seat.
