I feel like John Pilger when he sat interviewing some senior insider and was met with: 'C'mon John! The people?!!! Jezuz. Don't waste my time'.
But seriously, it's inevitable, isn't it?

I think the key would be, as Plato suggested, to have educated, intelligent people elected... his so-called 'philospher kings', and not ideologically minded politicians.
It wouldn't be that difficult, surely.

It's not the leaders that are the problem You would need an educated, intelligent populace to maintain order amongst themselves for a global government to function and it wouldn't happen. Some cultures insist on religion as part of their governments and some do not and conflicts like these will lead to massive problems when trying to find a system that will work for everyone.
