No, because it is a needless hassle and probably not as effective. Shifting the responsibilities and tax/revenue collection for local development to local/district governments would make the matter of number of provinces useless while allowing the public, greater access to the effective authority i.e the local government. It would also remove the blame game and excuses that local authorities give for their helplessness due to inattention by progressively superior bodies, which quickly become inaccessible to people; in turn allowing the public to be irresponsible and lack a sense of ownership of their region. This would also make the elected officials much more dependent on their constituency and also provide the flexibility for local governments to adapt/change taxes as per their own specific circumstances. It gives the credit or blame of development in each place, less dependent on federal or provincial governments; which would only play a minor and secondary role.
This, along with restricting the parliament to primarily a legislative role, instead of government formation, and having somewhat direct election chief executive for federal, provincial and local governments would all but eliminate the effect of provincial monopoly in government formation. It would also make membership of assemblies less lucrative for the uninterested and reduce the 'cultness' of political parties, making the overall situation much more democratic, effective and flexible.
