How so?

- Both economies are massive, GDP (nominal 2003):
Germany = $2.4 trillion
UK = $1.7 trillion
France = $1.7 trillion

- Both major nuclear powers

- Both spend a considerable amount on defence (though France like Germany never use it, only for UN/NATO "peace keeping" missions like in Afghanistan)

If UK & France have Veto, then Germany & Japan deserve it too because their economies are larger

Africa does not deserve a Veto because they REALLY are insignificant in every way.
