That look like bullshit to me tbh, i don't see how does that make sense, someone cam explain to me? Like, why does it have to be an absolute majority?

Like, why does it have to be an absolute majority?

Because it's a pre-existing law.

I think the actual question is: why didn't all the MEPs bother to attend the vote when it was this contentious.

edit Oh, the answer might simply be that they didn't have to be there if they would've voted against not passing.
