Look at Norway, people there have a high trust in government. The problem isn't trust in government, it's the quality of the government.

I don't think you should use an exception historically its apt to go bad rather than good in most cases. Norway is one bad leader away.

Your government shouldn't have the capability to titer on that. Good, bad, or medium leader things should march on.

That's entirely separate. You should be able to trust a government that's wrapped in checks and balances.
