Governments: Politicians

Governments Dept: It does suggest there is a bit of frustration. The fact really puts the pressure on governments and politicians to think about how they build public confidence in institutions, according to Globe and Mail. Seventy-six per cent of respondents strongly agreed Canadians should let politicians know what they think. On a separate question, only 20 per cent said that politicians usually do a good job balancing competing interests, while some 50 per cent said governments do so only some of the time and canadians, he said, are relying less on governments to solve problems by themselves, and are looking toward other methods of political participation. This frustration may be the polite, Canadian manifestation of the sort of angst that has swept the Western world most notably Greece in the wake of a weak global economy, he said.
