Summary/Abstract: Similar to the research results from the years 2013 and 2014, the trend of citizens’ distrust in government institutions and political parties continues in the year 2015. As the results from the year 2015 (presented in chart 1) show, it is noticeable that several institutions stand out regarding the level of citizens’ distrust in them. Political parties are the most distrusted by most of the citizens: in 2015, 62.3% of citizens specified that they do not trust the political parties at all, while combined with the “I do not have much trust” attitude (14.9%), the total number of those distrusting the political parties amounts to 77.2%. The category encompasses a variety of other institutions towards which more than 50% of those surveyed have no trust at all: cantonal parliament (51%), cantonal government (52.2%), state government (52.8%), entity government (51.5%), state parliament (50.3%) and entity parliament (49.6%).
