Not any time soon, but ultimately, probably. Whether civilisation will ever reach that point, I don't know.
It seems to be going that way a little bit, with the United States being separate entities that are ruled by a common president; Europe is heading the same direction in a different manner, and there is an EU president; China has been a conglomerate of provinces for millennia; the old USSR countries will either join the EU or Russia.
There's four power blocs right there that over the next few centuries will either do everything to become top dog, or work together for the betterment of the planet (where's your money?)
ASEAN is doing similar things, we just need Africa and South/Central America to join the party.

It might take an alien threat to get us to that point

Can't happen at this point - cultures are too different.
Much more local governments can keep the people happier - as they all want different things in different parts of the world.

Which is what you have in every developed country anyway, so that's not such a huge obstacle.

I think people still want to maintain their identity and borders, though.

I definitely see a time in the future where we have a one world government likely as we start to expand out into space. Until then, we will continue to have our own borders and cultural identities that make it impossible to ever have something like that. I hope I am dead and gone by the time we are talking one giant government.

The way the planet is going it may be a necessity at some point. Basically when it gets down to crunch time humans "may" finally realize that it was always family. Of course a few billion will die first before it sinks in. As is customary.

Imagine the corruption that would be involved in something like this. How would voting work? Biggest country by population size = automatic winner?
Wasn't it written somewhere about one ruler for all the people being the end of times?

It will be essential for space exploration. As it is now though I don't think anyone from any major country could accept foreigners bossing then around.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

I'd imagine countries would still elect their own president (or whatever) and all those heads of state would make up a congress and elect a leader amongst themselves

Like every state has a governor.

Right except the governors would select the president. Which would probably actually be a better system than we are currently using.

I would think the citizens vote for president of the world who would preside over the governors of each country.

No doubt that's true today. Imagine 300 years ago without the electoral college?
Communications in time will make it possible for every human being on earth earth to vote.
Soon enough most people will speak a version of the same language.
I think it's a fucked up idea but...

That's what happens here, in a small version. Each of the 650 seats in parliament is independently elected, and then those 650 elect their leader, and whichever party has the majority of seats forms the government. Or, gets first crack at a coalition.

So how would you fellas feel if a muslim was the supreme leader or whatever title and he wanted to implement sharia law throughout the world. I've been out and never want to see a new world order myself. I just see a mess of corruption myself.That's what happens here, in a small version.
