Benefits of Global Government
By P.R. Sarkar
Question: What will be the benefits and advantages to
be enjoyed by people if a global government is formed?
Answer: There are several benefits and advantages:
- The huge expense of maintaining a militia in each
country will be saved and this saving can be used by people for their
benefit
- Human beings will be saved from psychic tension
- There will be less bloodshed
- There will be free movement of people from one corner
of the globe to the other

Many people say that different national interests are the only hurdle in
the formation of a world government. In my opinion this is not the only
obstruction; rather, this is just a minor difficulty. The real cause lies
in the fear of local leaders losing their leadership. With the
establishment of a world government the powerful influence, which they
enjoy today in different countries, societies and in national life, will
no longer exist.
Different national interests and popular skepticism may hinder the
formation of a world government. The progress of this work must be carried
on step by step to remove the baseless fears in the human minds. Besides,
due consideration will have to be given to removing any possible obstacles
to the formation of a world government. The world government has to be
strengthened step by step and not suddenly. For example, two houses may be
formed for an unspecified period for administration. The lower house will
comprise representatives from parts of the world elected on the basis of
population, while members of the upper house will be elected country wise.
By this arrangement those countries which cannot send a single
representative to the lower house due to their small population, will
benefit by expressing their opinions before the people of the world by
sending their representatives to the upper house. The upper house cannot
adopt any resolution unless the lower house has ratified it, but it will
enjoy the privilege of disallowing the decisions of the lower house.
In the first stage this world government may act only as a law framing
body. The world government will be vested with framing the rights of
implementation or non-implementation of any particular law in any
particular region. In the beginning when the world government is being
established, the government of different countries will have only
administrative power. As they will not have any power to enact any laws
arbitrarily; it will not be easy for any government to inflict atrocities
on its linguistic, religious, or political minorities according to the
whims of the governing majority.
