Problem is the five permanent members with veto rights are loath to give those rights away. They all understand it's not equal, but self-interest overrides principle (for all five of them).
Expansion: I like it, but not everybody does. Giving India a permanent seat will not be approved by China, Giving Iran a permanent seat will not be approved by the three western members, but perhaps we can still make a compromise. My candidates are:
Japan, Indonesia, India, Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, Egypt, Nigeria, Germany, Brazil, Mexico. Everybody gets both a few friends and a few enemies, but at least these countries represent a huge number of people, religions, cultures, economies and regions.
