Gce Model Questions Vol1 2018 Government Question 36
Practice objective / multiple choice question 36 from the 2018 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Government examination.
The European Union Council uses qualified majority voting (QMV). A proposal is supported by three of the five largest member states, whose populations are \(80\) million, \(70\) million, \(60\) million, \(50\) million and \(40\) million respectively. The remaining \(22\) member states each have a population of \(5\) million. To pass under QMV, at least \(55\%\) of the \(27\) member states (i.e. at least \(15\) states) and at least \(65\%\) of the total EU population must support the proposal. If only the three largest states mentioned above and \(10\) of the smaller states support the proposal, how many additional small states must be persuaded to support it for the proposal to meet both QMV criteria?
