what's with veto power? i thought the whole point of a democracy was to vote and to make decisions based on which option was the most popular. surely you could have healthy debate and discussion in the leadup to the vote, but the vote would be the voice for the majority. let me give you the united nations security council - a great idea for when the league of nations is too slow to respond. but what's with the 15 members being allowed, five of whom are nuclear powers who have signed the no-pro treaty, and those same five have veto power on any resolution on the table. what if, they worked collaboratively to develop resolutions that don't require veto, because they all buy in on it. now there's an idea. i don't like veto power.
