The Security Council is currently viewed as presenting the state of international affairs at the end of WWII. The dynamics of power have changed a lot since then. States like the G4 nations of Germany, Japan, India and Brazil are the new economic powerhouses and feel that their influence should earn them a seat on the Security Council.
The G4 also supports an accession to the SC of two African nations - probably South Africa, Nigeria or Egypt - to make the SC more representative of the world's population. Currently 4/5 of the nations are caucasian-dominated, three are European, yet most of the world's population is in Africa or India (which are not at all represented).
