Democratic satisfaction globally

An interesting report from Pew on satisfaction with democratic Governments in 38 different countries.

The net satisfaction with how democracy is working in their country is:

  1. Sweden +59%
  2. Germany +47%
  3. Canada +40%
  4. Russia +23%
  5. Australia +17%
  6. UK +5%
  7. US -5%
  8. France -31%
  9. Italy -36%
  10. Venezuela -48%
  11. Spain -49%
  12. Greece -58%

You can see how deep the malaise in parts of Europe is.

Another question what whether they trust the national government to do what is right for them. Those saying a lot or somewhat trust were:

  1. Germany 69%
  2. Sweden 67%
  3. Canada 67%
  4. Russia 67%
  5. US 51%
  6. UK 49%
  7. Australia 48%
  8. Venezuela 29%
  9. Italy 26%
  10. France 20%
  11. Spain 17%
  12. Greece 13%

We’re lucky with where we live.
