The voting system would be based on people as opposed to be based on one representative per nation. To be based on people requires one representative per million people. If all countries in the world had decided to
participate with this process we would have today 6,114 elected representatives to form Earth Government. They would form the Legislative body
of Earth Government. They could actually all stay home to govern or from some place in their communities. Today communications are more than good
enough to allow voting and discussing issues, etc. through the Internet and video conferencing. That would cut cost of governing down to a minimum, at least administrative costs.
The Executive body would also govern in this way to cut cost down to a minimum. Ministers can administer their Ministries from where they live if they wish to. There will be a place for the Headquarters.
We will show that it costs very little to administer Earth Government, and that we can achieve immense results. There
is no limit to the good the Earth Government can achieve in the world. Think! What can do a unified 6.114 billion people determined to make things work to keep Earth healthy?
The political system of an individual country does not
have to be a democracy. Political rights
of a country belong to that country alone. Democracy is not to be enforced
by anyone and to anyone or to any community. Every community can and should choose the political system of their choice with
the understanding of the importance of such a right on the Scale of Human and Earth Rights.
On the other hand, representatives to Earth
Government must be elected democratically in every part of the world.
An individual country may have any political system at home but the government
of that country will have to ensure (and allow verification by Earth Government)
that representatives to Earth Government have been elected democratically.
This way, every person in the world can claim the birth right of electing
a democratic government to manage Earth: the rights to vote and elect representatives
to form the Earth Government.
In order to elect representatives to Earth Government
it is proposed the following:
A. Each individual government in the
world will administer the election of representatives to Earth Government
with an NGO and/or members of Earth Government be allowed to verify all
aspects of the process to the satisfaction of all parties involved.
B. Representatives be elected every
five years to form a new Earth Government.
C. It is proposed here that there will be one elected representative per 1,000,000
people. A population of 100 million people will elect 100 representatives. This process will
create a feeling of belonging and participating to the affairs of the Earth
Community and Earth Government
D. A typical community of a million people does not have to be bounded by a geographical or political border. It can be a
million people living in many different locations all over the world. The Global Community is thus more fluid and dynamic. We need to let go
the archaic ways of seeing a community as the street where I live and contained by a border. Many conflicts and wars will be avoided by seeing ourselves
as people with a heart, a mind and a Soul, and as part of a community with the same.
E. Earth population is now 6.114 billion
people. If all representatives had been elected this year there would be
6,114 representatives to form Earth Government. They would be the Legislative
elected body of Earth Government. They would participate in some ways in
choosing the Executive and Judiciary bodies of Earth Government.
