I'm not against it. It's a fantastic Idea on paper. Like communism or Socialism. All very good ideas, all terribly impossible to implement
correctly.
Here are a few reasons why.
1) The same set of rules for everybody is stupid, you're never going to get everybody to agree.
2) Getting small groups of people to run even bigger parts of the world is stupid, it just compounds our current problems.
3) Power is corrupt, and you can bet your bottom dollar that there would be more back room deals in a One World Government scenario than any other's
combined.
4) Like minded people are always going to group together, with common ideals, and goals, to remove, oppress or disrupt the current system. If you
make everybody go underneath this "blanket" government system, than there will be more of these groups, in greater numbers.
5) It's not required. As much as it pains me to say it, we aren't idiots, we can be left to our vices without killing each other. Big Government
is an illusion and it doesn't work.
You can't count on just a a few guys to decide what's best for all the rest. You need complete citizen involvement with government and it's simply
impossible to accomplish in this kind of system. You need very small federal government, and very large municipal government.
Again, the idea is fantastic, but people are PLACED into power these days, they never earn it, which is why you can't have this type of system,
because the majority always end up loosing to the elite.
Edit To Add: You can't have transparency, Oversight, or Accountability when this system is in place, which is the whole point of a democratic
system.
