#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.

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

Tough luck otherwise.

#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.
