Who defines the borders of a democratic world parliament (DWP) constituency that would elect a representative?
The size of the democratic world parliament (DWP) will depend on the size of a human race. In 2018 (our hoped-for completion date) there will be about seven billion people on Earth, so if one constituency were one billion people, there would only be seven elected representatives … clearly too few. If one constituency were a million people, there would be 7,000 elected representatives … surely too many. It has been proposed by author/activist George Monbiot (among others) that 700 constituencies of about 10 million persons each would be about right for the DWP. Deciding on the borders of these constituencies poses some problems, so people and organizations will have to get involved in defining borders before the first global election takes place, so that the first global election can take place.
