Today's world: the UN, the EU and the Commonwealth, sentence 2
Think of a school council: everyone has a vote, but in the UN Security Council five permanent members can each block a decision on their own, which is a bit like five pupils who can veto any plan.
Who acts: you, everyone, Council five permanent members, five pupils · What happens: think, have, block, be, veto · To what, where: vote, decision, own, bit, plan · Speech: someone speaks here
