No. Unequivocally: no. Governments have problems already due to the fact they try to make global laws which affect too many people in a negative way i.e. there's too many doubtful cases who are affected negatively by a law and cannot get repairs. The centralization of power will lead to corruption (even more than nowadays), since the power will eventually rest with a handful deciding for the rest. Apart from being against government for principal reasons, IF you want a government: keep it local and decentralized.
