Over what period of time? If you take a somewhat longer historical perspective you may notice that "seeming better at this" is quite a short term vision. Governments ALWAYS grow their power, by their very nature, and a world government would grow it's power indefinitely. I guess you don't care if porn is outlawed world wide, as would most certainly happen if you had world-wide "majority rule". The majority of the people in the world are Muslim. Even with a "perfect democracy", those who want porn to be legal will be outvoted, and there will be nowhere to go to escape the "world government".
