Do we need state governments!
This got me thinking - why do we have state governments at all. Local government is fine for handling local issues and federal should be able to make decisions for the states (without obstruction).
I think you can get away with this in a country of only 200 million people.
Imagine the savings if we removed all of those politicians!

We might need them but I don't want them - always wasting taxpayers time and money arguing about things they should just get on and fix.
I'd love to see them go. I would then pump that money into more local governments who really need it.
we need to democtratize our education, health and transport. it's a joke how we are from the same country and have different standards in diff states. That's SOOOO 200 years ago. Down with state gov and up with local governments and 1 federal govt to control the $$$$.
Currently we use them and have to abide by what state govts do. I am strongly in favour of regional local governments and metropolitan local governments to be created ,be it in a provincial form in regional areas.
When the states are abolished it is paramount that the focus or issues that are unique to the state metro/country areas be not lost.
Currently we operate in 2008 with 4 levels of government local,state, federal and international. We do need to change there are to many.
We could get rid of them for many things - a national approach to schools, hospitals etc would be better for everyone instead of these endless fights about power between state and federal governments and the differences between the states.
