In late september 2009 at a meeting of G-20 countries in Pittsburgh the leaders of these nations determined that the G-20 will permanently replace the G-8 as the "permanent council for international economic cooperation."
Of this change British PM Gordan Brown said "The old system of international economic co-operation is over...The new system, as of today, has begun."
What really has changed? Prior to the September 2009 agreement the 8 biggest economies of the world made decisions that effected the 193 sovereign states. Post September 2009 the 20 biggest economies will do the same. This leaves the populations of 173 sovereign states at the mercy of the G-20.
What will it take for every single person of every single country on earth to have representation on decisions that affect them? A G-193? Even within the G-8 there was bickering. For example following the sub prime crises the US and UK wanted countries to spend billions of dollars while France and Germany wanted tighter financial controls. This bickering will probably increase with the switch to G-20 and would be impossible to manage with something like a G-193. A G-193 would probably make the UN appear to be an effective organization.
So what will it take for every single person of every single country on earth to have representation on decisions that affect them? It will take a World Government made up of representatives elected directly by the people of earth (not their governments). By having a world government elected directly by the people of earth we will have a government representative of all people and not influenced by individual powerful states.
