By virtue of the fact that the UK is an island nation, it has its finger in the affairs of more places than does France. This is somewhat less true since the UK gave up Hong Kong.
But I meant it more as a balancing factor between the UK and France, and not an overall argument about the validity of the seat on the council (I dismiss the validity of two seats on economic grounds). As far as I'm concerned, the members of the EU should fight for the seat allocated to them, or share it, as y'all see fit.
