    Create a "League of Democratic States" and then dissolve the U.N. The only States which will be able to vote are democracies, but all states will be present. Pretty much a U.N. that works better and actually represents people.
    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).

    How does one decide whether a country is democratic or not? No country do people vote on all issues. North Korea calls itself a democracy. Do they get a vote?

    Pushing the others out will only make them band together more closely, and they probably will have more will to put their citizens lives in danger - hence act more often.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.
    The best argument against democracy is a five minute talk with the average voter. Winston Churchill

    UN's primary role is to stop WWIII.

    Everything else is just a sideshow.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
