71% of Europeans support moving beyond unanimity in EU decision-making.
Today, the veto power allows a single Member State to block common decisions. In an increasingly unstable world, this means delays, paralysis, and inefficiency.

Please replace the majority vote as an early stage democratic process with sociocracy. -

How Hungary seems to be on board again it might be a little less urgent to solve this issue immediately. However in the long run it might not be a bad idea to look into scrapping the veto in some kind of way as it has clearly caused more problems it actually prevented. -

Data from Polling Europe – April 2026@eunews Veto power in the hands of individual entities is not working. This can be seen in the EU as well as in the UN.
Let's think about the rationale behind it. If I'm not mistaken, Veto powers are meant to prevent a majority bulldozing over the objections or needs of a minority. And I can see some benefit to that.
In that vein, how about Veto powers requiring additional support? A single Veto, no. A veto with, say, support from 20% of other votes, maybe?

@eunews And perhaps a veto proof percentage? Get 67 or more percent of a vote, it cannot be vetoed?
(The numbers are arbitrary. Maybe a veto should get 33% of support. Maybe veto proofing should happen at 80%. Who knows? Suggestions are welcome)
