<<And I'm sure you want to abolish the US Senate as well because it's not elected according to proportion of population...>> The power of the Senate makes people even across all states. This shit of people like Hillary getting huge donations from other states like California to run in New York screws up the meaning of the Senate.

And I'm sure you want to abolish the US Senate as well because it's not elected according to proportion of population... That was creative. The permanent memberships exist to prevent a tyranny by the non-democratic members of the UN.. Those deemed the winners in WWII got the veto. Sort of a spoils of war. I can agree that it was not helpful that totalitarian regimes were given two of those permanent seats Didn't you just contradict yourself....totalitarian regimes preventing a tyranny by the non-democratic members of the UN. !!!!! I think permanent seats should go to those who provide the majority of the financial and diplomatic support for the UN. I have no doubt that you'll change your opinion when China becomes the dominant economic power in the world. jttmab
