This fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of the UN. It's not supposed to be a democratic institution; the founders knew that if it were, a lot of really awful world leaders wouldn't bother showing up. It's supposed to be one where everyone has a spot at the table, the theory being that it is better in the long run if there is an official channel for dialogue between all countries. If the UN ever became a purely democratic organization, a bunch of countries would leave and never come back, to the considerable detriment of worldwide peace. You may not like it, but that's what the goal has always been.
