The Consultative Assembly (Arabic: مجلس الشورى القطري, romanizedMajlis as-Shura; also known as the Shura Council) is the unicameral legislative body of the State of Qatar. As of the last election, it consists of 45 members, made up of 30 elected representatives and 15 appointees of the Emir.[1][2] The body can call a vote of no confidence against the appointed Prime Minister, though this requires a two-thirds supermajority, which is also necessary to oppose legislative action carried out by the Prime Minister.[3]
