So I red the news article on Delfi and it’s… interesting. Only 16% of the population trust the parlament and only 17% trust MK. While the maximum was in 2002 and it was 47,9% parlament and 51,4% MK.

Well it’s still better, than living under Lukashenko’s or Putin’s regime, but isn’t that bizzare, that one partialy trusted government criticise untrusted government for being not democraticaly elected and don’t listening it’s ppl? Yeah, politics.

P.S. Source is in russian, I didn’t found Latvian version

  1. No it is not bizarre because the perception of trust has nothing to do with election stealing.

  2. Only 54% voted.

    I bet other 46% could be ones that do not trust elected government (why not voting for trusted ones then?)

    So rest of 54% are divided into multiple parties.

    So those who voted for opposition coupd be ones who do not trust government.

    That leaves us with small % who trust 🙂

    To sum it up – main issue is low participation in elections, not elected government itself.

    As proof. In 2002. 71.5% voted.

    Also year 2002. was “fat year”. So people were happy with economy ect.

    Now is crysis that lasts 2 years already with no end to be seen.

    So nothing surprising to me 🙂
