    A majority rule will never happen. If it does, the west European countries will be in charge of the EU, which defeats the whole purpose of, you know, a union.

      There are many ways to reach a majority. You can have a weighted majority, and agree that you need 3/4 of the votes to reach an agreement. So, those countries with more people have more voting power than many small countries. There are formulas, if you look for them.

      Majority rule does not in any way defeat the purpose of a union, it strengthens it, but prevents one agenda, for one member, from cancelling out all the others
