in government serves as a vital driving force for a country’s economic
development, increases the effectiveness of governmental decisions, as
well as leading to greater compliance with regulations and the tax
system. The level of confidence in a country’s government is generally
determined by whether people think their government is reliable, if it
can protect its citizens from risk and whether or not it is capable of
effectively delivering public services.
The latest edition of the OECD’s Government at a Glance report
has found that confidence in government varies widely between
countries. Greece has the lowest level of confidence in its government,
unsurprising given the economic pain it has suffered since the onset of
the financial crisis. In recent years, Greece has had to deal with
multiple elections, bank shutdowns, defaulting, the introduction of
capital controls and being on the frontline of the European migration
crisis. That has all led to 13 percent of the Greek public having
confidence in their government. South Korea also has a low level of
confidence at 24 percent, most likely due to President Park Geun-hye’s
impeachment scandal.
In the United States, the White House is
struggling to shake off allegations of Russian collusion and only 30
percent of the public have confidence in the government. The United
Kingdom is also enduring turbulent times amid its Brexit negotiations
and 41 percent of the public have faith in their government. 58 percent
of people in Russia and Turkey trust their governments while India has the highest confidence levels at 73 percent.
