We'd need either 13 countries or any number of countries that represents 35% of the EU population to oppose this law.
Last time, it was 8 countries representing 27% that opposed it. A handy voting calculator[0] gives us about 23.88% of the population using the countries listed here.
This is (was?) a less-likely scenario to stop it. One final attempt will be when all the MEPs get a chance to vote on it.

- folbec 8y agoIf the vote is before brexit it's 23.88% after brexit it's 27.42%.
- Zenst 8y agoYou raise a very poignant point, should votes that are borderline, that the UK MEP's have voted recently be reviewed?
- noir_lord 8y agoOnly if the vote is 51.89% to 48.11% on an overly broad decision made against the backdrop of lies, finance illegality and interference from external actors. I'm totally not bitter though honestly. If the worst comes to the worst I'll just marry my partner (she'll still be an EU national after March) and take my skills (and taxes) abroad.
- avar 8y agoNo, just like votes that happened just before new EU members joined in the past weren't revisited. You're either in or you're out. Britain's still in, and thus still gets to vote.
