Elites condescendingly blame low public trust in government on ‘misinformation’. Even the OECD itself urges Western political institutions to ‘invest in improving perceptions of integrity in daily interactions and complex decision-making’.
Political debate today often revolves around the ongoing death match between a populist right and an elitist left. While cultural forces certainly fuel this fight, the people of the West should also focus on the structural causes of the strife, one of which is the underlying failure of our democratic political systems to represent people. Technical questions around how our democracy works may be a bit complicated and unsexy, but they need to be thoroughly discussed and understood.
