Why Everyone Thinks Their Government Has Failed

1. Evidence of the trend is inescapable. Just in the past year, Labour routed the ruling British Conservatives by a historic margin, and France’s centrist President Emmanuel Macron saw his authority weakened by the inconclusive result of a snap election. In Japan, the ruling conservative Liberal Democratic Party, which has governed almost continuously since 1955, lost its parliamentary majority in the powerful lower house. In South Africa, the African National Congress lost its absolute majority for the first time since the end of apartheid. In South Korea, President Yoon Suk Yeol’s party lost midterm elections by a landslide. The party of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to gain a majority for the first time since 2014. In Argentina, in the fall of 2023, the ruling Peronist coalition lost to the libertarian outsider Javier Milei.

2. Intranational economic inequality at a global scale.

3. The reason everyone around the globe is mad at their governments is because these politicians make promises that they don’t keep. They don’t offer solutions but excuses. They are trapped in a paradigm that they cannot escape. Why? Because most of the political leadership, whether left or right, come from the same elite circles as those that the common voter wants to regulate, the global business elite.
