I think we are actually seeing the end stages of "government", gov doesn't really exist except to facilitate the extraction of labor from the people, so considering that is becoming well understood, lots of systems seem to be trending towards autonomous decentralized or semi decentralized systems.
Summary:
Maybe there will be some sort of "rep" system but I honestly don't think "government" will exist much longer into the future.
Well said, though it may take a while yet. Also, we already have one world government it's just an awkward, shadowy hodge-podge and therefore most people don't have a say in it. /u/k_digi is right though, sooner or later the whole world is going to realize they could just sit down and talk things out, presumably with the right technology ;)
