Just skimmed this post was wondering . why in the hell is france still P5 ?

France and UK ( 2 Euro nations comprising of 120 mil popln is not the force which it was in mid 20th century ... Time for upgrade .
Japan, India, Brasil , Germany .. One of them should be included ? which one though should be Interesting one
Personally in my opinion instead of expanding p5 , france and Uk should be replaced by single EU seat
and thus it should look something like
1. USA
2.China
3.EU( France, Germany and UK to leadthe way, EU policy should design this change on how it should be lead)
4.India
5.Brasil
(Thus this way , world popln of almost 3.3 Mln is represnted and also would include all major regions.. Japan maybe also be not a bad choice considering their economy but with their weakining of global clout , it brings out a difficult choice.. )
But high time France substantiate itself on why it should be in P5 .
