Brazilians losing faith in democracy

Support for democracy in Brazil has fallen to its lowest level in a decade. A survey by the Ibope polling institute found that only 40% of Brazilians agreed with the phrase “democracy is preferable to any other form of government”. A total of 49% of Brazilians agreed with either the idea that “an authoritarian government can sometimes be preferable to a democracy” or that “it makes no difference whether a government is democratic or not”. On a positive note, the actual percentage of those in favour of an authoritarian government fell from 20% in 2014 to 15% this year.
