The UN Security Council is the most powerful diplomatic table in the world, and France is currently the only EU member with a permanent seat and veto power. Federalists argue that converting this into a single 'EU Seat' would finally force member states to align on foreign policy and allow Europe to stand as an equal against the US and China. Opponents, particularly in Paris, argue that France’s global military and diplomatic reach is unique, and handing the keys to Brussels would lead to dangerous indecision during global crises.
