That's the point - unanimous voting is open to abuse from tiny minorities.

Eh, I wouldn't so much call it "abuse". Coming to consensus takes work. At a large enough scale, it won't ever happen, and the EU is much larger than that -- it's never going to meet any unanimity requirements.

Not sure what they were thinking with such a policy. Unanimity is something you can have at the village level.
