Ok, I'll try and avoid starting any wars.
I was just reading 1984, hey that could work...

Welcome to City 17. It's safer here. =P
And personally I agree with what Bullet Magnet said a few posts ago. I'd like to see a government who is intent on protecting the environment while finding out new ways of growing our human culture without much impact. And I mean effective stuff that has to be enforced, not bandwagon stuff like they're doing now. We can't exist without an environment to live in after all. It'd also genuinely care about it's people and do things for the benefit of it's people and it's country rather than to make money.
But of course this idea has many flaws. It's not realistic for one.
There's many other things I'd like my ideal government to do (transport, human rights, etc) but I don't really have the time to put a lot of thought into it now.
EDIT:
And oh yeah, Wings of Fire has a point, too. Internationalization would eliminate most wars except for inevitable internal conflicts - Humans should work together just to simply live instead of work against each other, 'cause living is apparently very fucking difficult even though it shouldn't be. This is one of the things I hate about humanity, but still. People said earlier that the EU prevents the countries within to go to war against each other, and they have a point.
EDIT 2: Yay for skimming posts too quickly. :P You miss stuff.
I also agree with WoF too - I've always thought that religion and politics should be kept separate. People see differently, but most religion was basically invented in ancient times as a way to keep people in line - It was important back then, but today it's not so much. Dying traditions that don't reflect the modern world, should not be allowed to govern or influence our progress today.
I'm not saying that my ideal government should abolish religion altogether though, 'cause for some people it's all they have to live by, I'm just saying that it shouldn't be part of our politics, 'cause that is one of the things that makes religion dangerous in todays world. Look at all the holy wars, for example. Or they're stopping research on embryos 'cause it's "Immoral" according to the Catholic church, and that's just two off the top of my head.
