That effectively nullified the average citizen’s rights or ability to have their voice heard.
From the elaborate monarchies of centuries ago to fascists in Europe just 80 some odd years ago.
Even today, there are many nations in which citizens have hardly any say in their government’s activities.
In the face of these inequalities, a democracy is by far the most enlightened, balanced, and fair form of government.
Unfortunately, an unsettling new study finds that in both developed nations, and on a global basis, dissatisfaction with democracy is at an all time high.
Among citizens of developed nations (defined as Europe, North America, East Asia and Australasia), dissatisfaction with democratic politics has increased from a third to half of all citizens over the course of the last 25 years.
Also, across the entire planet, the percentage of people who say they are “”dissatisfied” with democracy has increased from 47.5% in the mind 1990s to 57.5% today.
According to the research team from Cambridge University, 2019 represented “the highest level of democratic discontent on record” since researchers began recording global political sentiment in 1995.
