No.  Our world is too "young" for a world government.  The only time I can see that a world government would become possible (but still not practical) is when we start colonizing the solar system, and we grow beyond country issues to planetary issues, where a unified "Earth" voice is needed when it comes to political/trade issues with the Moon, Mars, etc...

Ditto, and even then I would prefer it to be a loose federation rather than having a strong central government.

Who said anything about a "strong central government"...
In my understanding "A loose federation" would still be a world government, (isn't the United States still, technically speaking, a 'federation')

1. It would, never said it wasn't, just that if there must one a loose federation would be the format I prefer.
2. Less so than it was intended to be. The power of the federal government has greatly expanded in the last century.
