We have to if we want to ever join the Federation. We also need warp capabilities.
I think people are looking at this from a personal lifetime view. It isn't likely to happen in the next few generations, although it is possible. I think it will eventually happen though in the next few centuries. We are working hard, as humans, to make internal social changes rather than forcing people to accept governments through force. There are some groups that are more than willing to try to force their views on others and that might be what happens. But such a government would not likely last long. But if getting different countries to change their views on rights of the people and that the people need to decide for themselves then I can see a large, global government form. It would take a while though. Some countries/regions are not even close to such a change in views.
And there will always be opposition to a global government, just as there is always some opposition to all forms of government.
