Do you think that a smaller government would be helpful?

That's a very general question. Specifically, what do you mean with regard to voting?

I don't know, but maybe if local politics became more important people would feel it had more bearing on their every day life.

Local politics is already vitally important, though -- and no one realizes how much of a bearing it has on their lives. I'm all for voting at the local level. A single neighborhood can sway a council seat vote.
