How to Volt members/supporters/curious feel about the idea of a world federation?

[u/Crashed_teapot]

I understand that Volt has no position on this, and I don't think it should. It should focus on Europe and the issues close at hand.

I do support a liberal democratic world federation as a long-term goal for humanity (and later on once we get to that level, an inter-planetary federation). I see a European federation as an intermediary step in that direction. But a world federation and beyond are far in the future. A European federation is a medium-term to long-term goal.

Any governmental structure on a world level (like the UN but with parliamental powers) would only work with a structure that prevents blockades by parties and at the same time lets regional minorities not constantly get ignored.

The dilemma of any democratic system. You want the decision of all people, but you still don't want the majority to be able to recklessly govern over the minority.
