From the US mid-term elections to democracies across the G20, one question looms large: do people still trust their governments to act in their interests?
A new Earth4All-Ipsos survey finds that fewer than one-third of respondents believe their governments will make decisions benefiting the majority in the long term. At the same time, 69 per cent want major changes to the economic system.
The findings point to a widening gap between what people expect from governments and what they believe they are getting. Growing inequality and the perception that the system favours the wealthy are at the heart of this trust deficit.
