You have to decide if you believe there should be international law or not

The Nuremberg trials laid out a very simple idea: the supreme international crime is launching a war of aggression

The UN security council must be rebuilt from the ground up

UN must be wrestled from US control, it must not be allowed to use it as just another weapon, and we must work towards an actual system of international law, one where we are actually equal. the other option is global war

@ekis

the UN does need to be rebuilt regardless of any other factors

the security council for example:

france and uk both having seats is a colonial era hangover. there should be one EU seat

russia inherited theirs from the USSR, this wasn't even legal. russia simply should not have a seat

india should have one

brazil should have one

nigeria or south africa should have one

australia or indonesia should have one

egypt or saudi arabia should have one

china and usa as usual

@benroyce @ekis One little niggling detail, the UK is not part of the EU. Which also means it has an outsize vote to other European countries around it if the EU is forced to vote as a block.

@tankgrrl I read Ben's post to mean that the UK doesn't need / deserve a seat.

@xinit @benroyce @ekis So does that mean that North America gets consolidated into a block as well?

I don't get why one founding member gets their vote taken away while another does not. If we're just building a power block then that doesn't seem very united.

@tankgrrl @xinit @ekis

if such a political structure existed. but it doesn't

the absurdity is two european seats at the un

it should only have one

EU is the most obvious political entity choice to have it, that's all

uk/ not uk/ france/ not france/ etc

whatever

the point is europe doesn't deserve two seats

Sorry to keep harping on this, but there is also no political structure for the EU that also includes the UK. The EU is primarily an economic block with some political homogeneity agreed upon. I mean if we get down into the weeds of it, the UK is an island unto itself, literally.

then if not the eu, the next obvious choice would be remove uk's seat, remove france's seat, give germany a seat

I think I'd err on inclusion at the state level. Each European state, each African state, all have seats. High vote requirements to pass things would be good - maybe use Eurovision voting rules as a start :)

@benroyce "Our 12 votes go to (dramatic over-long pause) support sanctions against Israel!"

Cheering, confetti canons go off, flashing lights. Cameras cut to the Israeli delegate looking grumpy with their obviously Mosad handler glaring over their shoulder.

Just like the real Eurovision.
