Pressing need for World Government and Global Parliament

Amid ever-increasing threats facing humanity,

it's high time to initiate steps at the governance level to make the world a safer place for mankind. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided impetus to the idea of a global democratic government and underlined the necessity of a world organisation to tackle the dangers facing mankind in a more effective manner. These include --- pandemics, stockpiles of nuclear weapons, deadly biological weapons, natural disasters, climate change, loss of control over Artificial Intelligence, terrorism and so on.
It is obvious that these threats cannot be tackled by any country alone and a united action at the local, regional and international levels is required to rid the world of these dangers. Currently, a world body already exists -- the United Nations (UN). Formed after World War II in 1945 to prevent and eliminate recurrence of wars and to maintain peace all over the world, it was also mandated in broader terms to look after some aspects like economic, social and cultural development.
The organisation has been beneficial to mankind in many ways but looking back at its record during the over 75 years of its existence, there is not much to feel proud about. Soon after its formation in 1945, it had to face the Cold War between the Western Bloc and the Soviet Bloc headed by former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) which lasted till the collapse of the Soviet Block in 1991. It could not prevent local and regional wars in the Korean peninsula, Asia, Africa and even in Europe and Latin America. It could not stop Chinese aggression against India in 1962 and the Cuban missile crisis between the then Soviet Union and the US. Mostly because of the Cold War politics and its attitude, it failed to take bold united action. Its response to natural disasters and epidemics at national or international level also fell far short of expectations.
Apart from the Cold War politics, other main causes responsible for the failure of the UN to meet expectations have been lack of its full representative character and its failure to reform itself. Also, the organisation has not restructured itself to keep up with the needs of the changing world. Under these circumstances, its attitude towards enormous problems and threats and deviant forces facing mankind has been almost inflexible. Despite repeated calls by many countries, it has more or less continued with its inequitable representative character. A glaring example of this has been that India, with over 1.38 billion population which constitutes about 18 per cent of the world population, has no permanent representation on its most important decision-making organ -- the UN Security Council. Last year in June, out of the 192 votes cast in the UN General Assembly, 184 countries voted in favour of India for two-year non-permanent membership of the UNSC, which started from January this year. The world body has also to change its responses so that the threats facing mankind are attended to promptly.
The idea regarding the deep structural changes to turn the UN into a democratic World Government, will take more time to come somewhat into shape. Moreover, in a world full of diversities and ideological differences, such an institution will have to be free from biases and prejudices and will have to transcend the diversities and differences to acquire a truly representative and independent character. Recently, with advancements in human civilisation and thought, the necessity for such a global institution has been felt immensely at various stages. After deeper restructuring of the existing world body, contours for a democratic World Government can be established and Parliament of the world body could be elected directly by proportional representation based on population of each member nation.
The challenges facing mankind as also the matters of economic and financial governance can be dealt with in a far better way by a Global Parliament. Such an institution will strengthen democracy, justice and equity throughout the world and help in curbing fundamentalist and the radical ideologies. Proper attention to all threats facing mankind could ensure safety and survival of intelligent life on earth. But for realising it, the member countries will have to shed a few shades of their sovereignty which could democratically authorise and enable such a World Government to prevent deadly nuclear and biological wars at the local, regional or at international levels. At present, there are already scores of organisations in Africa, America, Europe and elsewhere, and some of these are popularly elected. Despite Brexit, the European Union continues to be a best example of such institutions even though at the regional level only. Initially established as an advisory body, it has evolved through decades as an elected representative institution.
Just some time before his death, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking pleaded for establishment of some form of World Government as he apprehended that aggressive instincts of humans could lead to destruction of mankind and hoped that such a Government could prevent the impending doom.

So China with 1, 390,000,000 and India 1,366,000,000 would rule the world.
What could possibly go wrong?
Why don’t all 50 US States get representation?
It wouldn’t matter. They want to apportion the vote on population. So whether you have 50 small votes or 1 less small vote, the US with 320,000,000 would be subjugated to China and India.
That’s just what we need; a government with twenty or thirty or more parties; look at the mess parliamentarian governments of Europe are.
Right now 57 Islamic states each get a vote.
If that is wrong then what IS the Great Reset?
Your guess as good as mine given I have not wasted any time in objectively researching the ‘Great Reset’. Personally do not care about it given too many nuclear capable nations would not play into nor buy into a/the ‘Great Reset.’
Oh, they know how to fix the hole in the road. They just don't want to.
That’s in the UN. And yes it’s a problem.
This article is talking about another world government I believe.
Obama took the use of nuclear weapons off the table during his presidency. Even in response to a nuclear attack.
He’s upset that India doesn’t reign at the United Nations either.
Yeah.
But not China, and Russia, and I don’t foresee them anytime in the near or distant future (i.e.: short of a catastrophic world threatening event like an asteroid, etc.) giving up their sovereignty to implement any semblance of a one world government via a Great Reset agenda.
It’s not a conspiracy. It is the goal of both communists and Moslems.
KRAP, with a capital K.
Do these fools not understand, that with only one overall government for everyone on the planet, there is no escape?
India and China have been at war with each other for decades. Everything could go wrong.
It’s arguably a conspiracy, better yet, something envisioned yet has not happened or taken place, a grand illusion or magic trick bordering on someone pulling a rabbit out of an empty hat. Till it actually takes place, it will remain such. Both Russia and China are too heavily involved with expanding their Communist autocracies to remotely go for a ‘great reset’ or even a one world government other than providing lip service and token gestures....their nation’s sovereignty and their hold of power is all that matters.
Millions would die right off the bat as the underdeveloped countries try to brush past developed ones — by friction in the form of riots and wars.
Greed and power.
The UN, like the Bilderberg and Davos conferences is all about supranational institutions, a big world government, government and corporate collusion.
They are the opposite of what they proclaim to be, even if there are a few naïve folks working there that actually believe the crap.
It’s about centralizing power and wealth and maintaining this power and wealth.
Nations with borders, racial identity, a living religion, and yes even the family at an elemental level (Marx even knew this) are all barriers to the free movement of people (cheap labor), movement of goods and services (market barriers), access to resources, unrestricted movement of capital (for the elite and banks - not the citizen, he needs to pay taxes), and ideas (but not all ideas).
Culture builds walls.
Culture wants to live like a living organism. Culture conveys values and culture is conveyed by a national, racial, religious and family identity. What we need today are indiscriminate consumers that think what they are told to think and buy their Iphones made in China and from Amazon (all made in China, exploiting employees - about the least environmental/social thinking firm imaginable, but they check the LGBTQIA block so they are OK).
This is the future: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html And if you disagree, you’re a racist.
This is a battle where if you are self aware, you need to choose sides. Most are just lemmings and go with the flow. These sheep do not know about the forces shaping their world and merely tag along with whatever the powers are. Do you want to be a mindless consumer as in the movie Indiocracy, or do you want to hold onto a cultural identity which will make you into a bad person, because EVERY ASPECT that conveys culture is under attack: American exceptionalism = bad. Nationalism = bad. Racial identity (if you’re white) = bad (racist). National pride = bad (ethnocentric thinking). Religion = bad (not scientific, close minded). Close knit family = bad (oppresses women, doesn’t socialize children properly - you need to belong to the collective/village/community).
