I would like to mention the key points we discussed, why Indonesia may become the more suitable candidate for the permanent seat in UN by 2020 onward, with a probable claim for Turkey also in place of Germany, hopefully by 2020:-
=> Why Indonesia?
1st, it is the 3rd biggest country of Asia by population, and the 3rd largest Democratic country after India and US, so it must be the 3rd country from Asia in this regard, after China and India :thumb:
2nd, the largest Muslim country.
3rd, there is no country opposing its candidature, while China won't let Japan get into this UN's seat.
4th, its economy size is above $1.1tn on PPP, while that of Japan is $4.4tn. but Indonesian economy would be double by 2020 while that of Japan may hardly maintain its current size, if it won't collapse with EU+US anytime this decade. as, its 'highly likely' that few of the major economies of EU would collapse till 2020, and then it would then bring down UK, France, with it also, obviously. and then its hard to believe that US and Japan type economies will remain unaffected after that......
5th, a collapse of NATO, after fall of its major economies, would clear path for the countries like Indonesia for the position of permanent seat in UN. as, neither there will be any grouping like NATO nor there will be much to ask, "why a US's follower isn't given a top post of UN. "
@amoy, Indonesia has the largest Muslim population.
You might be right. There is a significant difference between officially quoted statistics & the real Muslim numbers in India.
What's wrong with the France. Also why it needs to be only p5.

I support claim of Indonesia on the basis of the above four points of my post. Indonesia is a responsible Muslim country, with growing very fast too, hence it may truly represent the Muslims of the whole world :thumb:
