But a couple of thousand years ago tribes within Britain were at war with one another and governed themselves. Now Britain is governed as a country, soon it will be governed as a state of Europe. World government is just natural progression, and doesn't mean you'll lose your local town council to address local issues. The top level World government would of course address the issues relevant to all of humanity which currently remain unsolved because they are in the hands of rival nations. For example, do you think Gordon Brown and the Cabinet have any involvement with local politics now?



How about allowing them to live somewhere they can cultivate crops instead of barren deserts or areas that get flooded out every year? Most third world countries fail so badly because they are places not suitable for human habitation - and they can't leave because of political boundaries, hence illegal immigration.


But yeah, you're right. Our forefathers worked really hard during the colonisation of Africa and the Opium Wars - The only reason we're better off is because someone else isn't. Now we're better off because East Asian sweatshop workers make all our cheap goods so we can afford to buy loads of stuff with our comparatively high wages. Tell you what, why not get British workers employed making all our goods! Oh, wait, now a jumper costs £200 because our workers want £5.50 an hour instead of £5 a week. Now we're all poor and hate the government. Revolution! You see the problem here? That's why we have such high unemployment.


I don't consider it a fantasy - I honestly do think World government is the logical progression of democracy. What is the point of countries after all? Is there really a difference between voting for someone for World Parliament along with someone to represent you in the local council, the UK, and Europe?
