Top contenders for permanent members are Brazil, India, Egypt.
A broad spectrum of the world seems ready to work more closely together after plagues, famines, and wars.
If Ol' :biden-point: nukes the post-WWII UN Security Council hegemony that would be a good thing for everyone on the planet. Every single permanent member has abused their veto powers with zero oversight. More undemocratic than even the US Senate.
As an Internationalist: Would sure be nice if we could elect our UN representative.
Who do you see winning as a UN rep in the United States?
seems to me like a nationally elected UN rep would just end up being a lower tier of Presidential election, so it would probably get fought over by the Buttigiegs of the country,
The more I think about it though the more I think it would probably do a lot of good to have a national election that revolves entirely around foreign policy. People might actually learn a little bit about other countries, and a niche party could hijack that to get some based foreign policy ideas into the public consciousness.
Could be a good thing in theory, but I just don't think they'd allow those kinds of positions a platform even if they did let foreign policy be voted on.
