The British have become less trusting of their government than the EU government

After Brexit, the British began to trust their own parliament and government less than the government and parliament of the European Union,according to a survey by King's College LondonLondon, Great BritainGreat Britain

Residents of the UK after leaving the European Union began to trust the EU government and the European Parliament more than their own government and parliament. The Guardian writes about this, citing data from a study by the Institute of Politics at King's College London.

Since the UK left the EU, the share of people saying they have confidence in the British Parliament has fallen by ten percentage points to 22%, while confidence in the EU Parliament has risen by seven percentage points to 39%. This happened for the first time in 30 years of research.

Trust in the UK government also fell from 2017 to 2021, from almost 30% to 24%.

The UK left the EU following a referendum held in June 2016, which resulted in 51.9% of those voting in favor of leaving the European Union. More than three years later, in January 2020, Britain finally left the association, of which 47 years old was a member. “If we can do everything right, I believe that every month we will have growing confidence not only within the country, but also abroad,” said Boris Johnson, who headed the UK government at that moment.

According to the latest survey, only 24% of survey participants said they were "happy" with the UK leaving the EU, while 49% said they were disappointed.

Britain's exit from the European Union was accompanied by lengthy discussions about the terms of this process. it was this “wailing, unpleasant and vicious dispute” in Parliament, which was also “completely unproductive”, that caused the fall in confidence in the government, according to former British exit minister David Davies. This crisis of confidence in the government has been exacerbated during the covid -19 pandemic, he said . At the same time, according to him, after Brexit, the British media - he listed publications such as The Sun, Daily Telegraph, Times and Daily Mail - "stopped kicking Brussels", as it was before the referendum on Britain's exit from the EU, writes The Guardian .

“Of the more than 20 countries that participated in the study, we are the least likely to trust the government; confidence in the police also plummeted, especially in London; and only Egypt has less [than the UK] trust in their press,” said Bobby Duffy, DIRECTOR of the Institute of Politics at King’s College London.

Only 13% of survey participants said they trust the UK's political parties. According to this indicator, the country is on par with Brazil, Italy and France, but lags far behind Norway (36%), Sweden (32%), CANADA (24%) and Germany (23%).
