Platini wants to get rid of the Europa League, and double the size of the Champions League from 32 to 64.
The big leagues wouldn't get extra CL spots (so 5-7 wouldn't get anything), it would simply give the smaller countries more spots (and automatic spots for the ones that don't have them).
While it's clearly not good for the big 4 leagues, and there is a risk the quality of football in the CL will be reduced, I think it's good idea, simply because everyone is then in the same boat, none of this dropping down to the Europa League bollocks, and takes us a bit back towards the spirit of the European Cup.
