Trust in government is growing – but it needs to deliver

New Institute for Government polling shows more people believe politicians try to make government work well than they did in 2014.

New Institute for Government polling shows:

  • More people believe politicians try to make government work well than they did in 2014, but they think that representing their constituency is low on their list of priorities.
  • People have not “had enough of experts”; they still want them involved in decision making.
  • Remainers and Leavers are both sceptical about whether government will deliver on key Brexit and domestic policies.
  • People don’t want big announcements – they want to know how government things will get done.
