National governments can’t solve all our problems. The unprecedented environmental and economic crisis our planet faces will require an avalanche of global decisions in the coming decades. These decisions should be taken by directly-elected representatives of the people in a legitimate world parliament. Do you agree? If so, please help us make that happen by voting in favour of the idea in the global referendum, below.
