Indeed, the ideas are good. But even the best laid plans can falter. And if we create a system that can be abused, then we, and the rest of the world, will live in tyranny. I also do believe that the balance of powers you proposed was a good idea; however, as we've seen here, the executive forces have continually seized more and more control in the interest of 'maintaining order, protecting the public, peace,' and other reasons, with such a case being in the draft and war powers act past by the Federal administration, acts you supported. Furthermore, we have more examples of executive expansion, and power being collected in the hands of a few ambitious people. We cannot have such a system in place. The League could be sued for imperial purposes, just as we were used in this war.
A local League would include all European states, would have those minor, new states as representatives, it would be smaller (and fewer representatives equal more individual power), and it can have power at the European states want, and we don't have to foot the bill for European wars. Furthermore, they would look only after European affairs, not after Asian matters, which they have no real interest in, and would likely make arbitrary rulings, much like we've made in Europe since Jamous' term.
As for France and Britain supporting the League, how valid are your sources? I am certain there are proponents of it, but do they represent the majority in those nations? Would they agree with it? And, most of all, how do the other nations fell about it? It would be exactly the same as forcing it on Belgium. However, in my League, they have a vested interest. In yours, they'd have a minor position in the world, and would likely be forced to align itself with France. Another concern I have of the League is this; if the nations start exerting more independence, and acting in their own interests, how would the League react? Would it idly stand by, and let its power be absolved? Or would it act, and weaken a nation's freedom? Neither situation is appealing, and such a situation is not only plausible, but likely.
And why would I want globalisation? I want cooperation, and free trade, but globalism connotes a single power governing over the world, as this League could very well transform into.
