Brazil
Germany
I firmly believe they have a valid case (japan and germany are the UN's two biggest contributors, Brazil would be a vital 3rd world ambassador and India is the world's largest democracy).
Any thoughs?

They do have a case. It's plain stupid to consider the UN a representative organization of nations where India (1/6th of humanity) and the largest secular democracy in the world has the same vote as Burkina Faso. Why Maoist China that had before the 80's a lesser per capita income than India would be considered to have a veto in affairs and India not. The UN loses it's relevence without India. I consider it demeaning that a dictatorship like China sits in the security council and decides or veto's on resolutions on a truly democratic, representative and secular country like India. Makes no sense to me. In my opinion India should not have been in the UN at all.
