A leading member of Britain’s House of Commons select committee on foreign affairs has called for London to share its permanent seat on the UN Security Council with Australia.

In the most radical Brexit-era security proposal so far, Bob Seely, the Conservative member for the Isle of Wight, told The Australian he believed the British UN seat should “become an Anglosphere seat”.

It does make no sense that the UK and France have two seats. France could give its seat to the EU and then perhaps the 5 eyes minus the USA (which already has one) could oversee the other. How that would work in a practical sense might be far more difficult - and the combined economic and military might would still not be that great.

I doubt anyone would want to give a seat to a country that would change the status quo even if it might be "fairer".
