| #3 I believe it requires a two thirds majority of the general assembly, and the assent of the 5 permanent SC members. It won't ever happen. Too many players with too many agendas and the votes of the min and micro countries going to the highest bidder. |

| #2 Germany can get their permanent seat... By taking thir bit of France's as it turns into the EU seat. Tough luck otherwise. |

| #1 We definitely need a Master of the Obvious graphic here, Sheriff, heh. It's hard to imagine ever seeing a UNSC consensus again. Can anyone come up with a scenario that would have all five perms voting in favor, not just abstaining / withholding their veto? I can't, given the current Govts. |
