Same reason why it is better for the USA to be one country than 50
There would be no war and decisions would get made through democratic
process. If the world government is democratically elected then there
would be no way around the will of the people and we would not have
to all sink to the economic lowest common denomenator in order to 
survive. And on a more general emotional level belonging to an inside without
an outside appeals to me. I have always felt a universal patriotism to
,and a sese of belonging to, the entire human race. Noone has ever
been able to explain this nationalism business. I simply can not understand
people getting so worked up about silly red lines on the map,funny different
coloured bits of cloth, purile regional ditties etc... If one is opressed
and not allowed to express ones own culture that is another matter but
this is not allways the case where these sentiments are the strongest
