    I was not part of the team that conducted the survey.

    Question is about national parliaments, but results are presented as averages on the EU NUTS 2 level. Can be compared with this other map I made that someone posted here the other day, about trust in other people: [https://twitter.com/sundellviz/status/1448660521155059721](https://twitter.com/sundellviz/status/1448660521155059721)

  2. It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to _elect_ people with your own votes and then _not trust_ the very same people. This shines a poor light on the ability of voters to make informed decisions.

  3. I am very surprised that a region such as Podkarpackie, that if I remember correctly voted for our current government in Poland with over 60% of votes is still as trusting in our parliment as Warsaw region, where oppostion wins every single time.

  4. Central Eastern Europe won’t trust its governments for the foreseeable future. If you know history you know why. It will take decades and a lot of change to the political landscape to change that.

  5. Many think the UK isn’t included because of Brexit, it’s actually because there’s so little trust the country would be so black it would overshadowed every other country

  6. sweden’s text says what? Reads like the score is higher than its score in trusting people, but such is not measured anyhow.

  7. Crazy to see, after all the shit the government has pulled (and is continuing to pull). But the middle and higher class aren’t usually at the receiving end of such shit, so I guess this shows exactly how much empathy Dutch people have…

  8. Interesting how the former West/East German border is still clearly visible. This would be something for r/PhantomBorders

  9. liberals let capitalist’s cause economic struggle for workers, economic struggle for workers causes political consciousness, capitalists use all that media they just happened to be buying up to blame immigrants or some racial minority or neighboring country, fascism is on the rise in Europe

  10. If you are bulgarian and you have trust in the parliament you either work there or honestly with no sarcasm i belive you are an idiot that should not be allowed to vote

  11. Yeah, one of the biggest cultural differences I’ve noticed talking to peers from the south of Europe is their disillusionment with politics. Very sad.

  12. There isn’t a shade of red dark enough to represent my distrust of the Dutch parliament…. and the government.

  13. Not a surprise. They care mostly abou confrontation and política wars rather than focusing on fixing issues for the People. That serves for them to get the votes, but not the confidence.

  14. Jeez. How tf is germany with all its scandals and after 16 years of CDU fucking us over and over and over back into the dark ages (compared to industrial nations) still green. Guess we germans sure like to take it, no matter but. But God behold we will be late to work 5mins after 6am on Monday morning. I just hate my country so much 🙁
