I was responding to a comment that is supportive of strong cities etc.
Really, what I object to, is this unstated transfer of power, from governments to the UN. The UN decides policy, local government implements it - changing legislation etc as required. But who made the UN god? Why do all states across the world follow the same plans? Are you a 'stakeholder' in the decision/strategy process? You and I are not. It simply moves power to a level so that it is untouchable and unknowable. Voting already does nothing, because the folk we see already just implement what they are told.
