What about a world parliament?

I quote from a guy from San Francisco
Hey; not all Americans are bad guys!

Maybe we should stop this little wrangle over a local election that almost noone seems to care about.
We have to wake up to being in one world now.


"World patriots know that the existing UN Charter mocks "we, the people"
democracy because of the Charter's inherent design flaws. For example, the
Security Council veto gives dominance to nationalism over the good of the whole,
over the world public interest.

If there is no democratic world federation in the proposed strategy, then we
can be quite sure it will be futile in terms of ending wars; it will fail to
adequately deal with global ecological crises; and it will not be able to
protect human rights for all. We will simply continue the present system
where Might is Right and the Bully nation lords it over the weaker ones. And
where the leaders of the Bully nations are above the law, unaccountable if their
actions are criminal.

Hence, I think it is important that we have a simultaneous strategy (I call
it a "two track strategy") of working on developing from the grassroots a
democratic World Parliament while we also work on UN Reform.

If the ruling powers will not allow the UN to become a democratic world
federation (probably the only real answer to our world's problems), then we will
already have in place an emerging alternative global system developing a
democratic World Parliament for "we, the people."

That's why I feel strongly that in addition to attempts at UN Reform (such
as the Parliamentary Assembly idea), we need to simultaneously and equally
support the emerging Earth Federation under the Constitution for the Federation
of Earth.

For peace & humanity,
