Australia - Trust
in politicians and government is at an all-time low.
Britain - Theresa
May and Jeremy Corbyn lose control of their Brexit policies
USA – Political
Polarization
Washington Post notes:
“All the doom,
gloom and divisiveness have caught the attention of experts who evaluate the
strength of governments around the world. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s
Democracy Index, a measure widely cited by political scientists, demoted the
United States from “full democracy” to “flawed democracy” in January 2017,
citing a big drop in Americans’ trust for their political institutions.”
