Before reading this below it should be remembered that the United
Nations Security Council was made up from and by the victors of the
Second World War (around 1947) in the hope that there would never be
another such war.  Sadly, it looks as if, through the actions of
modern peoples, there may well be (eventually) a third World War
because too many want over-all power, a one World Government, complete
dominance of the ordinary 'man in the street', and in "streets" all
over the World.

Some would like to get rid of the use of the VETO in the Security
Council, yet the VETO plays a very important part and it should of
course remain.   The EU wants to speak for all its member Countries,
yet the EU should recognise those that set up this organisation in the
first place.   The EU should also recognise, that without the people
behind their organisation-and it will never be forgotten that the
people in 26 States were denied a say-the European Union may yet be
the cause of another war. The United Kingdom must speak for itself
always in the Security Council.  To forget its History and the reason
it is there to make decisions for itself will set the seeds of its own
destruction.

No one country seems contented to  govern just their own Country.
Ordinary people are over-ridden or just plainly ignored, ushered into
UNIONs that they do not want to be in.  They cannot connect with alien
people or alien laws for in the alleged connecting they lose their own
laws, their own identity that previous wars were fought for in the
first place-to keep and to hold on to 'their own'. Anne

From page 6:-For their part, Great Britain and France initially were
reluctant to accept the idea of additional permanent seats. It was
clear from the beginning that any such addition would give testimony
to a relative loss of global power of the United Kingdom and France
and might also increase Germany’s regional influence in Europe, thus
adding to the perceived imbalance that was brought about by Germany’s
reunification in 199015. However, in the 1990s both states became
strong supporters of Germany’s candidacy.
