I think that's a bad idea.
People are by and large stupid, and they'll use their own little piece of power to make things difficult for others. (can you imagine if the christian reich was able to weild absolute power proportional to their population?)
We need a government to hold a big portion of the power, but not one that can get anything done or use thier power effectively; rather, we need one that can't get anything done 95% of the time, and when they are getting something done, they should usually be counteracting what they had just "acheived". This keeps them out of your business for the most part, and keeps the most catastrophic failures from happening.
