New research on Gen Z and their views on democracy ⬇️
NEW: Just 6% of Gen Z say they actually want a dictator – not over half, as has been recently claimed.

Our study finds only a very small minority of 13-27-yr-olds really feel this way, when their views and interpretations are tested with different questioning approaches 🧵⬇️

Interesting new research findings on democracy from @unisouthampton.bsky.social ⬇️📊
Is democracy in crisis?

Our researchers have found the trust in democratic institutions is declining around the world. They warn this could pave the way for leaders to use the state in more autocratic ways.

ICYMI: read @melissa-geog.bsky.social's response to recent research suggesting Gen Z are increasingly attracted to authoritarianism 🚨

Writing for @uk.theconversation.com, she suggests we need to go beyond the headlines to understand why this is happening ✍️

If we listen to how gen Z really feel about democracy they might stop telling us they prefer authoritarianism
Young people want to get involved with politics – but they’re held back by a vast sense of distrust.
