qualified majority voting (QMV)

 
     
  The term for the system of weighted voting employed by the EU\'s Council of Ministers. The weighting of each member state\'s votes is based on population, though the system has always favoured the smaller states. (In practice, most decisions in the Council are still reached on the basis of consensus.) See also constructive abstention; unanimity.
