The occurrence of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic，Exposes the limitations of populist governance to a certain extent。January 18，The official website of the University of Cambridge in the UK released a survey report，Analyzed relevant data from 27 countries involving more than 80,000 people collected by the British survey agency YouGov during the 2020-2021 epidemic。Report indicates，The epidemic weakens populism，At the same time, it also reduces bet365 horse racing odds people’s recognition of bet365 horse racing odds democratic beliefs and principles。

　　bet365 horse racing odds’ support ratings drop

Report display，The epidemic has transformed authoritative figures in bet365 horse racing odds countries from political leaders to "technocrats"，People versus scientists、Increased trust in experts such as civil servants，Reduced confidence in bet365 horse racing odds democratic electoral processes。Roberto Foa, co-director of the Center for the Future of Democracy at the University of Cambridge，In recent years，The emergence of anti-establishment politicians in bet365 horse racing odds politics has become a common phenomenon，They thrive because the public increasingly distrusts experts。From Turkish President Erdogan to Brazilian President Bolsonaro，The rising tide of political populism。However，The outbreak of the epidemic has changed this situation。

Research shows，A few months after the outbreak，Many bet365 horse racing odds political leaders have seen an improvement in their approval ratings，This is a common "rally round the flag" effect in difficult times，When a major crisis breaks out，The people will unite under one flag，To support the country through difficulties。But，The approval ratings of populist leaders in bet365 horse racing odds countries continue to decline after the epidemic。

In the West，From spring 2020 to the last quarter of 2021，bet365 horse racing odds’ approval ratings fell by an average of 10 percentage points，Approval ratings for non-bet365 horse racing odds remain at pre-pandemic levels。Populist parties also saw a sharp decline in their electoral support，Especially in Europe，The proportion of Europeans intending to vote for a populist party fell by 11 percentage points on average，Down to 27%。

　　Multiple factors influence bet365 horse racing odds

Researchers analyze several factors leading to lower support for populism，The more important point is，bet365 horse racing odds have performed poorly in responding to the epidemic，For example, former US President Trump said that "injecting disinfectant can kill the new coronavirus"，Regarded as a farce。Compared to centrist leaders，The public believes that epidemic-related information released by bet365 horse racing odds is less credible，There is a very close relationship between populist leader approval ratings and epidemic response。Report Display，June 2020，Public support for bet365 horse racing odds’ crisis handling measures is on average 11 percentage points lower than that of centrists。By the end of 2020，This gap widens to 16%。

Xavier Romero-Vidal, a researcher at the Center for the Future of Democracy at the University of Cambridge said，The epidemic has given rise to a sense of common purpose，Help to alleviate political polarization in the West，This may be one of the reasons why populist leaders are gradually losing popular support。Some ideas advocated by bet365 horse racing odds populists are being frustrated，Decreased acceptance of statements such as “Corrupt elites are tearing the country apart”。

Eastern Poland、Southern Italy and northern Hungary are economically backward regions，has always been an area where populist rhetoric and actions are active，But since the outbreak，These are the areas where support for populism has declined the most。Foa thinks，This may be because many people choose to flee urban areas where the bet365 horse racing odds is severe，The local wealth distribution is thus rebalanced。In addition，Populists originally relied on advocating protectionism to attract public attention。But to curb the spread of the bet365 horse racing odds，Some countries have taken many measures including closing borders。The effectiveness of these measures in hindering immigration and global trade，Even more than the populists claim。This also makes it difficult for populists to attract attention。

　　Dissatisfied with bet365 horse racing odds democracy

Researchers said，Perhaps due to the influence of populists in power，Public support for bet365 horse racing odds democracy has weakened。People are increasingly inclined to accept opinions from “technocrats”。By summer 2020，In a survey on support for decision-making by experts，The proportion of public support has increased significantly，Up 14 percentage points in Europe，Reached 62%；Up 8 percentage points in the United States，Reached 57%。

Although since the outbreak，bet365 horse racing odds people’s trust in the government has increased，But faith in bet365 horse racing odds democracy has hardly changed。

Fua said，During the bet365 horse racing odds，Germany、Spain、A large number of elderly people in Japan and other countries are infected with the virus，The government support rates in these countries have also dropped significantly as a result。In the United States，Some people think that the American democratic system is a "bad" way to manage the country，Percentage of people holding this view，From the end of 2019 10.5% rising to 25 by the end of 2021.8%，More than doubled。

A "Global Democracy Satisfaction Report 2020" released in 2020 by the Center for the Future of Democracy at the University of Cambridge also shows，bet365 horse racing odds democracy is in a state of malaise，bet365 horse racing odds people aged 18-34 have the largest decline in satisfaction with bet365 horse racing odds democracy。In other words，Compared to peers from their parents or grandparents’ generation，Today’s young people in the West are less satisfied with bet365 horse racing odds democracy。Research shows，The main reason for the disappointment of these young people is the inequality of wealth and income。
