1 represents the Garrett±Tsebelis argument. In order to simplify they assume the Council has 7 members and a qualified majority (QMV) is 5 from 7 (approximates 62 of 87). 1 Tsebelis±Garrett Model at EP-Council bargaining 34 Keith Dowding points on the dimension and Euclidean preferences; that is, they want outcomes as close as possible to their ideal points. 1 we have member states at different ideal points along the single dimension, the Commission (Com) and European Parliament (EP) are represented as more integrationist, and the status quo (SQ) less integrationist than any state.
