Trust and confidence has been ridiculed in government. Considering various political parties want to assume government positions, a lot of them have issued promises they don't really fulfill when they get elected, they disdain trust and confidence after the campaign.

Trust and confidence has been mostly disdained in campaigns, where almost every political party is offering to do one good policy or the other, then fail to put them into action when elected.
