The topic: Should the UN have the "big five"?
The motion: This house believes that the 5 main member states UN should not have "veto power" to override a majority vote.
Details: The 5 main member states of the United Nations; China, Russia, France, the USA and Great Britain have so called "veto power" so that they can override a majority vote by the UN and it would not be passed, even though all other members of the UN voted for it. This is seen in examples such as the US does not let Palestine become a UN member state and China has not let Taiwan become an "officially" recognised country.
Stipulations:
Should be primarily about the veto powers and how they are democratic/undemocratic- other features may be discussed but have to fit into the argument.
Stay civil please and let the debate begin!
Hopefully this fits into allowed politics
