Keep in mind that leaders' popularity often correlates with the time of their mandate. Newly elected officials tend to be a little higher. In contrast, those going to elections have a lower approval (until they start to campaign, playing on people's amnesia and un/conscious fears and biases).
True, what usually happens, a party promises a lot before the election, they get into power, the honeymoon phase goes on for about two years, voters start to expect results on the promises made, in most cases they don't deliver or it's watered down and then their popularity starts to go downhill, repeat the cycle and it's more or less what we see in almost every western country.
It's easy to understand why, to get into power, you have to lie to the voters, if they don't, the other parties that do will likely get into power because what they are promising sounds a lot more appealing than what the ones that are saying the truth, it's a sad state of affair that they can't get into power unless they BS their way in, and that's the problem with the voters, they don't want the cold hard reality of changes that are needed, they want fairy tales and lies that sounds more appealing, which is basically what governments tell people, even thought they know they can't deliver on it.
Basically, it's all about getting into power and worrying about the lies afterwords, from what I can tell, that happens in almost every western country, and the real blame isn't the politicians or governments, it's the people, the public really need to hold governments and parties to account for the lies and promises they made, maybe then they'll get real change that's more favourable to the people, until then, they'll continue to tell the people what they want to hear, not what they can deliver.
The headline also seeks to confuse popular for good leaders.
Most politicians in w Europe are
(dying) dinosaurs. Which were

Bingo
Y'know, l'd say Macron being close to the bottom is hilariously unsurprising, but then again the source for this video, Morning Consult, literally only tracks like 13 european countries out of the 30+ in the continent, so who knows who actually deserved to be mentioned here... *_[stares at Greece and Portugal]_*
Actually the Portuguese prime minister has an approval rating of circa 40% and the president of 70% so quite high
@@milomhoek
Yes well, the portuguese president is for the most part a figurehead, so it's pretty easy for him to avoid controversial actions; plus, him being directly selected *_and_* elected by the people means a more solid and longstanding vouch from said people than some guy a political party chose for them to vote on or not -- it's certainly one of the most interesting aspects about Portugal's political system when you think about it.
l am surprised that the current prime minister isn't faring too bad all things considered, but then again there have been worse rated PMs in the country's history IIRC.
Greece's PM is very popular right now.
Why? Both Greek and Portugese are fine and we should take one more consideration and that is %of immigrations
@@josipag2185 Ask most portuguese people and they'll tell you if its fine xD
I just noticed that a British person who is 7, has seen more prime ministers during their lifetime, than a German who is 40, has seen chancellors during his lifetime.
on the other hand, the 80-year-old German had never seen a chancellor who was not a dishonorable crook
He's called "Rishi the Rat" Sunak. Used his rich friends in Blackrock and the WEF to usurp a democratically elected government.
What about Willy Brandt or Helmut Schmidt?
Bruh
@@michagliniecki843
Isn't being a dishonourable crook a prerequisite to be a successful nationwide politician?
Petr Fiala does not deserve that ranking. Also, he wasn't "one of the first" to go to Ukraine. He WAS THE FIRST to go to Ukraine, along with Poland and Slovenia's prime ministers. Your wording is misleading. He is in a 5-coalition government with constant battering by the opposition party. Apparently, his low key, intellectual, professor style (he was a professor) is not the kind of boisterous personality that is needed today, and people ignore him or don’t listen. I am from the USA, but I read Czech Radio daily and have for years. If I could import Fiala to the USA, I would. The opposition is being fueled by huge misinformation campaigns, some clearly Russian instigated. Also, he former president and prime minister Babis, who lost to Peter Pavel, is constantly mounting loud, tasteless but popular attacks, much of which are senseless, because he is a Trump-like crook billionaire with nothing else to do, apparently. The Czechs love their freedom of speech and complaining is part of their personality. . As an observer, I initially thought a parliamentary government with multiple parties and coalition governments sounded fantastic but I can now see the party divisions make it as impossible to get things done as we have here in the USA and this is why it appears Fiala does not deliver his promises.
I would have put Macron at the bottom of the list because it strikes me that he is unpopular internationally and domestically though he is certainly better than his alternative.
I am surprised Slovakia didn’t make it on the list as it seems they, too, have an unstable prime minister seat reminiscent of GB. And Poland's ruling party seems to have taken over he information space making it polarized.

I’m honestly stunned that Rishi has a 28% approval. Who are these people?
Exactly. Who the h* are these people?
I think part of it is probably to do with the furlough scheme which I must admit was a good policy call on his part.
White wealthy and from the South or former national front/bnp/edl/ukip types who think Rwanda’s too good for em.
People who are fearful of Kier Stammer getting into power.
Perhaps those who fear conservatives might end up appointing an even worse one
Surprised Mitsotakis isnt here. Us Greeks love to hate on him and blame everything going wrong on him but somehow he still won the latest elections by a considerable margin and he didnt make the list here.
We love to hate on every pm in Greece, he's probably less hated than any Greek pm since 2009
Yeah he gives 150 euros to buy off our vote. Plus he gives big money to TV channels. What a brilliant leader.
Doesn't mean much Schulz is the best on the list and has a 32% approval rating; even if only 1/3 of Greeks agree with Mitsotakis, he's not going to beat the Germans in sucking 🙂
A friend of mine hates him and his party as well, as well as all parties, and he knows well what they would do to Greece when they become government (increase debt/give false impression that they do good things to trick the (small now) young generation that are unaware of the "process" and that there is no democracy or choice, import immigrants from Africa and Asia and so on). And I can say that he is one of the best people I know. He still voted for Mitsotakis' party to thank a relative of his who mediated to get the relocation he wanted (he works in the army). Me personally, I always ask people what they will vote for, and if they do not answer my question, I stop socializing with them (and notice how many of them exist). Though, to be honest, I have never met someone who supports one of the elected(?) parties in the 2019 or 2013 elections, since at least 2019.
He (and the rest of the fake parties) will keep wining, because:
1. The majority (52% did not vote in the last elections in June 2023) already cannot vote for any party, I believe because they know that all parties would continue importing immigrants from Africa and Asia, if they became government, and
2. They have made a law that gives 50 seats in parliament to the first party. So the fist party in votes can simply form a government on its own, without any need of coalition, if just 17% of the electorate vote for them. Mitsotakis was voted by 22% if I remember correctly, and if this result is valid, which I do not bvelieve it is, since I have never met someone supporting his party since at least 2019.
Some sort of Austrian far right leader is rising? I’m sure that won’t end badly.
Last very sucessfull right Leader , born in Austria, was vegetarian, nonsmoker and antialcoholic, so according to many Modernlings, a very moralic man.
The title is "least popular", the thumbnail is "worst". Those aren't necessarily the same thing.
Well for a democratically elected leader success (for them) is arguably based upon whether people want to vote for you or not.
That's what I was thinking
Your comment is the worst !!!
Well but least popular (especially with disagreeing) and worst are somewhat the same here.
The worst part about Fiala's leadership is that he promised change from populist Babiš and marketed his SPOLU coalition to be the only one capable of it. People believed him and then he delivered shitty ministers, scandals and everything you would expect if you actually knew and followed the history of his party.
People are fed up about all the insane things they promised during the campaign not being fulfilled (which were literally impossible). While his ministers Stanjura (finance) and Blažek (justice), among most others, seem like the most incapable people ever, the latter of which was recently found to have personal ties with the far-right (color me surprised).
Now it seems like Babiš is gaining more and more power at the expense of SPOLU and the next election is gonna be a major clown fiesta. Even though the current and last government is filled with horseshit, people still refuse to vote for liberal parties like Pirates (centre-left) and STAN (centre-right) that have an actual chance of making a difference if they get enough support.
STAN and Pirates are both brutally corrupt, so i dont think, that anything would change, if they had majority. I have absolutely no idea, who to vote.
I would agree that the Pirates would be better than both SPOLU and ANO, but they would certainly not change things. We need communists not moderates
Svobodní FTW!!!
You are unironically delusional if you think Pirates would be more competent than SPOLU.
He is the worst prime minister of the great Czech nation. He is in coalition with extremist Left-Wing Neomarxist Pirate party, then also with the most hated woman in the whole history of the nation Pekarova. I want great Nationalist Right-Wing and Conservative government to lead our great nation. Inspired by PiS in Poland and Fidesz in Hungary.
Mateusz Morawiecki (polish PM) with 33% approval and 60% disapproval ratings is also one of the least liked leaders in Europe
Happy to hear about polish PM because now I just heard Poland want to send state soldiers into Ukraine

Germany’s energy policy has been an utter disaster for the German people.
Is it really our fault that gas and oil prices have went up?
@@DommTom , yes and no.
If Germany hadn't decommissioned much of their nuclear power plants and coal plants then the government could have pursued a more gradual transition away from Russian gas. However considering that the government have existing climate targets to reach, I feel they didn't really have a choice.
@@inbb510 The irony is that about two years ago the decomissioning of nuclear/coal power and dependence on Russian gas were common sense. It all changed with the war in Ukraine.
@@inbb510 Except shutting down nuclear plants does absolutely nothing towards reaching their climate targets. That's all about the Greens' ideological obsession with Nuclear power.
@@DommTom Not really for nuclear. People already had come around for nuclear power years ago, it was just the German idealists who kept insisting on old politics.
EU countries: we don't like our government, they'd better fix this or we elect someone else
Belarus: hold my potato
I'm pretty sure that Lukaseknko is more popular than Scholz, Macron, Shunak and the rest. And that even after being head of Belarus since 1994, and Belarus so much poorer than Germany.
I think it is more like "we don't like our government but we don't actually have any good alternative solutions ourselves. I'm bored of this current party so we will elect someone else, how about this one!"
4 years later: "we don't like our government but we don't actually have any good alternative solutions ourselves. I'm bored of this current party so we will elect someone else, how about this one!"
4 years later: "we don't like our government but we don't actually have any good alternative solutions ourselves. I'm bored of this current party so we will elect someone else, how about this one!"
4 years later: "we don't like our government but we don't actually have any good alternative solutions ourselves. We had enough of electing left wing leaders. Let's try this far-right party and see if there are any results this time round.
And the cycle continues. Stuff may or may not get done but it is always only small things.
@@inbb510 you just described Italy

*Bans inflation*
As a Czech, i think that it should be noted that Fiala is certainly much more liked than Babiš, the previous PM. I wonder what the question on the poll was, because i think that most people think about Fiala's government as a resounding "meh". But then again, i live in a city so i might be in a bubble. Czechs also generally love to complain and most people would probably rank anybody who is the PM low just because there is any issue and that person is in power at the moment.
He is just following a path of every left-wing party my man. The left has definitely failed, and him being in a ex-communist party makes more sense. Plus the idea that Czech like to complain is pretty vague because every country likes that. I’ve never heard someone being happy with their government.
He is definitely not "much more liked" than Babiš. Babiš is the second most trustworthy politician with 44%, Fiala has 28%. Babiš is not trusted by 53%, Fiala by 68% of Czechs. (CVVM 3.-5.2023)
People are fickle. People are never satisfied no matter what the government does.
I can see how Czech citizens don't like someone who practices onanism to a portrait of Biden...
@@GosudarProblem is that even people who would vote for Fiala or his partners, say that are dissatisfied, while Babiš followers will follow him no matter what, so yea, most people prefer Fiala over Babiš even though Fiala is unpopular.
I love how not even the leader with the most (apparent) approval rate is above 0. We just hate and mistrust politicians so much.
We honestly do to politicians as a class what they they do to themselves on an individual basis.
Shamelessly blaming them for everything... ^^
that is a good thing. hate, not so much, mistrust, yes. you must remain critical of politicians.
@@devkit_Kinda dangerous to blame them for everything as if they don't exist without a reason.
You can not have a negative approval rating. That would mean more people dislike the leader than there are total in the nation.
What you're thinking about is if they substract the disaproval from the aproval, if you calculate like that every single leader on this list would have a negative approval. But using statistics that way gives so much less information.
Simply because the guy in charge is from the "wrong party"...
Other parties have good or decent politicians too but I would still disapprove of them if they got a position in the current administration.
Petr Fiala does not deserve to be so low. Inflation started to rise thanks to the previous populist government and it kept up for so long because the governor of the Czech National Bank (who is a close friend of the previous populist prime minister). refused to raise interest rates.
Agree completely!
That goes for a lot of them. Circumstances in the world are not ideal and blaming a leader is just an easy thing to do.
Yes, Fiala has come into power in very unfavorable circumstacnes, but the goverment has done terrible job of communicating so they come of as arogant and uncaring. If they actually tried to engage with people approval would be higher.
He quite does. Especially when he favour his ideas and EU over his people.
he deserves it
Being more unpopular the Sunak is impressive and tbf to Germany basically all major choices of his predecessors have blown up in his face
Yeah although him being a financial criminal doesn't help
Scholz is bad enough on his own and the SPD was part of the last two CDU-led coalitions, with Scholz even being vice chancellor in the last one. And yes, a lot of stuff that needed to be done was not during the 16 years of Merkle but Scholz himself has not really led any initiatives to change this. It's mainly the Greens who try to push for changes and some SPD ministers - mainly Pistorious in terms of defence and Lauterbach as health minister, and both were not in the last cabinet. This is also the main reason why the big rift in the coalition is between the Greens and the FDP. The FDP wants nothing to fundamentaly change, to keep serving the particular interest of the fossil fuel and automobile industries while also trying to keep its neoliberal profil intact by pushing through harsh austerity measures that harm the German people and the economy. And the Greens suck at politics due to their often moralistisc and technocratic roots and approaches. They lack good communication skills to be able to gain broad popular support for their solutions even if the problems they talk about are recongised as such bei the public. This makes it very easy for the FDP and the right-wing opposition (CDU/CSU and AfD) to attack the Greens. With the SPD being seen as somewhat of a non-entity whose chancellor completely fails to get this government to function, especially on big issues, the party and Scholz suffer from this mess just as much if not more so than the FDP at the polls. The Greens are keeping their base together though - for now. But with how outright brutal the rhetoric from the right-wing, not just longer the far-right, is getting towards them, the question is for how long it will remain safe to be open about being a Green in some parts of the country, which is scary as hell to be honest.
What's interesting is there isn't really a consistent party that's unpopular - whether it's progressive, conservative, moderate, they're just all unpopular. I think it's just people putting too much faith in governments to begin with, and thinking that they can change things, when in reality they're at the whims of the same global forces that everyone is and only have so much power to make change.
There's a clear difference between "The worst leaders" and "The least popular leaders"
I always love your video contents, but don't make such clickbait titles seriously, there's no point in doing so
This is the main reason why I don't take TLDR news too seriously. They are holding themselves back with stuff like this
@@quickassessment Saying who the worst leader is based only on approval is a very stupid idea. Even Hitler got elected and very few Germans would say he was a great leader
@@quickassessmenttoo often they make too many blunders.
If one cannot see the difference between these 2 concepts, any analysis from the same tram cannot be taken seriously.
No, there is no difference. A democracy is supposed to be lead by the people and for the people. An unpopular leader is a leader that does not act like the people wants him to. Therefore, being an unpopular leading, is being a bad leader in a democratic setting.
@@Arckil No, If a leader were to get the goverment in massive debt to give the population free money every day they would be popular but not a good leader.
A citizen asked Olaf Scholz to finally take action and do something. Scholz replied that he was already doing a lot.
That shows what Scholz looks like.
He had announced that he would take over the helm after the summer break.
But right in the first session, a Green politician blocked a law by the FDP, just as the FDP had previously blocked the Green Party.
Surely the problem will be solved, but the view remains.
If you happen to be German, do you have any predictions on what the next German election would look like given recent events + Scholz' approval rating?
@@RS-xb9lo The only think save to say is that the far right AfD will gain a lot of votes, at the moment they are the second strongest party at way over 20% which will make it alot harder to create a new coalition, as no other party wants to work together with them. But it is very hard to predict what the next election will bring, if I had to guess I would assume that we will get another big coaliton (CDU + SPD) which is what we had more than once under Merkel.
This makes me feel that Hungary is doomed. The inflation was 25%, now around 18%, triple of the euro zone. And Orban is still loved by many.
Correct
Well, look at Turkey with Erdogan. The economy is a complete shamble with 50+% Inflation but he get reelected. Thats what happens when you allow a corrupt wanna be dictator to "influence" the media and the courts for years and solidify his powerbase. Hungary may not be doomed in the long run, Hugarian liberal democracy probably is....
Preserving the demographic integrity of our nation and staying out of the war in Ukraine is more important than inflation.
@@A_Takacsoh yes. Hungarians are smart. I wish romanians would understand this
@@A_TakacsYou mean to say that we are powerless against Russia (or anyone really), we intend to stay as such, we are slaved morally by them and financially by EU. Great job!

Macron has never been popular in france. The only time he was approved of was the first few months of his presidency in 2017.
After that for various reasons he was always disapproved, even falling to 23% approval two times (still better than Holland).
Still better than basically every 5th Republic president: His approval rating is low, but his predecessors' were even lower
That's total bull. Even Sarkozy, who was HATED by all people on the left side of the Force, had some solid support from the right.
Hollande and Macron inspired a never seen before hatred from people. Something not even Chirac, with his own attempts at reforming France in his first term, ever faced. And many might remember how many people were furious against him and Juppé back then.
@@thewonderfultartiflette4733 I agree with this but I feel Macron is a bit different - he basically destroyed France's existing political settlement but then didn't replace it with anything substantial. As a result, when his presidency ends at the end of his second term, there's just... nothing. A total leadership vacuum. Scary times for France.
@@Tom-qf3mq because he's the "least worst" that's why (I'm french)
@@Tom-qf3mq Decades of media speaking against Le Pen, first her father and now her. While her politics are very different, she is still seen as far-right at best. She did a lot to normalize the party's image, but as soon as she reaches second turn all the medias act like she is the second coming of the Austrian painter.
Not to mention, she is not a very good speaker, and changed a lot of her policies on stuff like the UE, while Macron is very good a debating and had been consistent on his political line, making it easier to have a solid support line
As a Czech, and someone who voted for the current government, and was very happy when learning the election result, I can offer my perspective on our government and our PM. It has been a disappointment in several ways, most notably on the economic front. We are currently running big deficits and have high inflation, and this government was elected partially on a promise to fix these issues.
While it had a lot of bad luck, because the war started just a few months into its term, it's handling of it was far from ideal. The feeling is that the finance minister is incompetent, and that the mostly centre right parties in the coalition are unwilling to significantly touch their electoral base - upper middle class and entrepreneurs. This means that their financial reforms are not going far enough, since they don't want to raise taxes on these people, and at the same time the budget cuts impact poorer people much more, which obviously leads to discontent. Add to this that our tax system is broken and unfair, where normal employees pay something like 45% effective tax rate, but many people, especially richer ones, working as "freelancers" pay only about 8%, while many times doing essentially the same job - I am a software engineer working on normal work contract, and many of my classmates work as freelancers, paying almost no taxes compared to me. Plus there is severe housing crisis, our flats are some of the most expensive in relation to wages in Europe - a flat in Prague cost something like 16 times the average yearly wage in the city, and inflation on groceries has been high, pushing many people to the brink.
All that sad, while I would say I disapprove of the current leadership I will still vote for the current government in the next election, just because the opposition is immeasurably worse, since any such government would include the fascist SPD, and I would vote for a rotten fish against them. In this it's quite similar to the situation in the USA with Trump.
💯 Agree. Well described. Sadly, your opinion belongs to the minority in Czech R. Czechs learned no lesson from the communist era. We still love redistributing money from one pocket to others. The system is terribly unfair. We have a beautiful country where it is nice to live. But if we continue this way, we will witness the brain drain of the young talented people, who refuse to subsidize the economy, while others parasite on it.
I don't think these polls can be compared like this.... There's a difference between considering a leader as Meh and not being huge fans but still voting for them and thinking they're terrible at their job.
As someone who lives in the U.S.A., I appreciate these videos because I would otherwise be "ignorant" to the outside world. It helps keep me informed (to an extent) to what's going on in the world.
yeah, everything is relative. Europe has been in decline since 2008. Funny how how America’s fart can heaviky impact other continents.
You gotta realize the size of the us, it's so big we're in our own ecosystem
@@jpsionah yes, USA is stronger than ever with its lgbt and blm protests, and trump in office and so on.
@@CatManOfTaste Not a very good argument to be ignorant and stupid?
@@CatManOfTaste Yes. Though a monolithic country means that many issues blow up on the national scale. In Europe a lot of issues are brushed under the rug and don’t get exposure like they do in America.
The last Czech prime minister, Babiš, was also the least popular in Europe, and the next prime minister is Almost certainly gonna be either him or Fiala again, unless one of them dies. Love our politics
Thank you!
I hope you will cover the looming crisis following the meet-up of the Czech justice minister Blažek with former presidential advisor Nejedlý, who is under investigation from the Czech Security Information Service for his ties with the Russians and supposed leaking of classified information TO the Russians. Blažek is actually from Fiala's party itself - he was the one who pushed Fiala into the Civic Democratic Party in the first place, following the party's association with various dubious figures from the Czech underground all the way to the 90s; Fiala was meant to restore the party's credibility and make it seem like the return of decency and honesty in Czech politics). When confronted with why he met up with Nejedlý and other notoriously untrustworthy figures, he alleged that they met up by coincidence, as he was forced into the restaurant there were in by a storm. The coalition partners seem to be wary of any actions against the Civic Democratic Party, as this would be seen as playing into the cards of the former PM Andrej Babiš, who, even though the current government is deeply unpopular, is much more of a security risk for the Czech republic overall. So far, only accusations have been thrown, comments have been made about how it is unacceptable, no one from the government coalition has actually pressured Fiala into taking steps against Blažek, which is surprising considering there were also some deeply problematic questions about his involvement in some judicial processes FROM the position of the minister of justice - precisely something the Fiala coalition campained against leading up to the election. As I said, nothing has happened yet, but Czech Twitter is exploding at the moment, all government parties' posts are being bombarded to step up and demand Blažek's resignation in the comments and the organisers of the 2018 300.000 strong protests against Babiš are ringing all the bells (hopefully in preparation for a big demonstration if nothing is done, even though as stated earlier, this would be problematic as it would play into Babiš's cards). Many are even questioning why Fiala has been so reluctant to do anything, hypotheses about Blažek having some dirt on all members of the coalition have been springing up and some have even questioned whether the Civic Democratic Party got rid of their infamous ties with the mafia and hasn't just put up a new face (Fiala) instead and continued business as usual - some have called Blažek 'Don Pablo' in the past.
TL;DR - Czechia might have a big crisis of confidence going forward after new scandals concerning its justice minister, please cover xoxo
Ah, but a Mr. Vladimir Putin of Russia has recently revealed an amazing 98% approval rating, which I'm sure we can all agree is completely genuine and not at all a fabrication.
Yes
Russia is Autocracy and never was democracy, never mind of this
Zelenski too!
In the case of Russia its most likely 50/50. Most of the urban population dislike him while the uneducated, religious bigots inhabitants living in the backwards areas idolize him.
Truly greatest leader of Europe
I'm surprised of how high Macron is, I thought he will be lower than 25% considering how hated his policies are ; and that most people voting for him just don't want to have the alternatives parties in charge
Bs polls
C'est parce que les électeurs de Macron au premier tour, ceux qui sont satisfaits de sa politique, sont plus les mêmes qu'en 2017. Avant c'étaient des gens qui votaient pour le moins pire, y compris beaucoup de gens de centre-gauche, aujourd'hui c'est surtout des personnes âgées et des gens de droite qui sont globalement d'accord avec ses politiques de droite 🤷🏻♂️
Macron still has a strong liberal base.
@@thomasvincent8905 politique de droite Macron ??? 😂😂😂 juste sur le côté économique à la limite mais pour les sujets régaliens, sécurité, immigration il est bien de gauche crois moi. 😂 nous sommes peut-être les pires la dessus au niveau européen. Mdr

@@aliceg6745 C'est le gouvernement qui a le plus augmenté les refus de demande d'asile, et rien qu'économiquement, le refus de taxer les superprofits, la supression de la CVAE et la réforme des retraites ce sont des choses de gauche?

Et ensuite le fait que Macron soit bien populaire chez les gens de droite est juste factuel, tes opinions d'extrême-droite n'y changeront rien.

Yikes, I just complained about some other mistake in the video and this one is even more egregious. TLDR really needs to get someone to QC things before they upload them, because there's clearly a lack of care for detail going into these videos nowadays. I'd rather see less videos than these fastfood-quality videos where I feel like I cannot trust the data represented or conclusions come to due to needing to reach some sort of publishing deadline.
I'd like to see a follow up video to see which European leaders are on the top of the list (or at least less unpopular than those at the bottom), aside from Meloni in Italy.
Putin #1!
🤣🤣🤣
Just kidding. Russia proper is part of europe though. Did he make the list of worst?
Nah, the poll they use doesn't include all countries of Europe, sad cause I'd like to see where the prime minister of Iceland were to fit in. Also I'm pretty sure this poll only uses data from the respected country of said leaders, meaning Putin might actually rank as #1. 😅@@yuki-sakurakawa
I think some of the problem is that when coalitions spread politically from far left to center right you wind up with an indecisive government with infighting problems. In short forming a government out of dislike for one end of the spectrum will not make for good governance.
Probably why some centre-right parties choose to bit the bullet and let in the Right-wing in coalition governments. As the alternative is to constantly fall apart.
Yeah and it’s probably the most worrying aspect in Europe currently as indecisive governments are helping extreme parties gain votes, this intern makes it difficult to govern without turning to extremes increasing their growth. I am German and the only reason i want the current government to stay is because the next coalition will be even more difficult since the only viable options are according to pulling. The „ grand Koalition plus/ Germany coalition. Including the liberals, social democrats and Christian conservatives. (52%)/ it’s alternative swapping the liberals for the greens( 56%) and the unspeakable „Bahamas“ coalition. Including the liberals, Christian conservatives and the AfD ( Far right). All there would be very difficult to govern and would most likely all result in some sort of disaster and i see in most other countries it is so too, that governments get increasingly unstable.
@@lynox172 literally wouldn't be a thing had they actually done with their voters want. Ireland for instance has the majority of everything party voter base not wanting them to take in more migrats but the leaders want more in, hell they passed a Speech restriction bill despite the ruling coalition voters not wanting it. The Extremes are literally only winning because the parties refuse to to take the voters wishes into consideration and actively piss them off in retaliation for being mad at them.
Yeah I could be the case but frankly most of right-wing parties are more like center or left so there’s not that much of a difference
The fact that European democracies are usually coalitions and aren't dominated by two parties like the US or UK is a feature, not a bug.
With only two options on the table an American voter has no choice but to choose two ends of a spectrum and I think this is one of the reasons why the Us society is becoming more and more polarised. In a typical European country you usually have like 5 parties to choose from - and these parties feel constant pressure from smaller movements that can replace them in the polls in the blink of an eye. A party cannot go too crazy in one direction knowing that people have no choice but to vote for them or someone they hate even more, as a similar but more reasonable party can easily take their place.

It's interesting that every one of these leaders has a big (60%+) majority disapproving of them
Maybe there is something wrong with the system to elect representatives if everyone, everywhere disapproves of their elected leaders. Of course it's easy to say so, but really hard to find a solution
in Czechia its more like the only other options are even worse (populist oligarch Babiš or far right xenofobic extremist Okamura or communist party) so we choose lesser evil
No that's wrong. Mostly those leaders are just victims of circumstances. Inflation and such always gets blamed on the leader. The figurehead. If you come into government of a country that has been run poorly by a previous government, you are not just going to fix it. If you have to tighten the belt because the Treasury was emptied the countries people are never going to be grateful. Does not mean it isn't necessary.
In the end: you have to elect someone. Having no governemnt is worse than having a bad government.
@@DommTom well actually.... There are some examples of the opposite. Belgium for example has had some very long periods without government after election because of coalition forming troubles. Some would argue that the country never ran better than in those periods. No scandal, no controversy, no infighting. In north Ireland stormont has been empty for quite a while now, though if that is a good thing is something to be argued.
Popularity votes are a ridiculously stupid system regardless. They don't guarantee competence or anything of the sort, just success for emotional manipulators or those who know what to say, regardless of whether they believe in it .
Fiala and his goverment have had the massive misfortune of coming into power after two subsequent left-wing, populist goverments, which increased welfare spending tremendously while not adjusting goverment revenue accordingly, thus running budget deficits in times of economic growth and leaving the country with huge inflation, driven by skyrocketing energy and food prices. The two left-wing cabinets also did nothing to adress structural issues of the Czech economy, like loosening up the over-saturated job market, investing into research and development, increasing productivity in private sector, pushing forward modernization and digitization of public administration, reforming the financing of pensions etc. Then the current cabinet headed by Fiala inhereted this mess and is no surprise they are struggling since they have to get the economy out of stagnation, lower inflation, lower food and energy prices, deal with the largest wave of Ukrainian refugees per capita in Europe and do all that while saving the public finances from collapsing. Add to that chaotic communication, some not that competent ministers and the fact that the goverment is comprised of 5(!) different parties and you get why Fiala is so deeply unpopular while being a decent politician all things considered.
It's also important to note that one of the main reason why food prices have increased so much while being already quite high pre-war is that Czech agricultural industry, food industry and retail is run by bunch of oligopolies that control the whole market as well as all level of the supply chains, so they hugely profit from increasing prices and providing citizens with low-quality food. And one of the biggest oligopolies, Agrofert, is owned by the former prime minister and current leader of the opposition, Andej Babiš, who is battering the goverment tirelessly for failing to curb the increasing food prices and inflation, despite the fact that his bussines is one of the main culprit in increasing food prices, Babiš himself profits massively from them and as a prime minister of the previous populist goverment is directly responsible for the huge inflation, collapsing public finances and bunch of other stuff. Buf because he also owns one third of all Czech media and raised welfare spending while in power, he leads the polls and people keep voting for him, ignoring that he's primarily to blame for their economic and living hardship.
As Czech i had feeling Fiala would be here but it Still suprised me
For Støre, while a lot of it has been recent turmoil I personally feel a lot of it comes from near radio silence through most of it, thus leaving the public feeling the government is doing nothing. In addition Støre has been a controversial leader for labour anyways as a son of a businessman, and generally more towards the centre/right than previous labour leaders.
As a czech, the inflation is really crazy atm and it's really messing up day to day life, everything keeps getting more expensive and wages just don't go up.. Had to change jobs, because what used to be enough to cover costs of living just isn't anymore

They also do correction videos if they feel they have made a big mistake. How many news broadcasters do you know that do that? How many broadcasters do you know that give sources in their content. That's what the numbers in squares in videos are for in case you're one of those that didn't notice. Cut them some slack or go watch something else.

1:10 You should note that in general these three parties are also vastly different from a social standpoint.
The SDP is a workers party, but is in that socially-liberal. The Greens while more left leaning, are known for unadvantages compromises which in the end hurt everyone except and thanks to the plans shown at 1:10 the more richer companies, as the tax relief is sold on the idea of boosting startups, but would mean a tax break for the rich. And the FDP is fiscally conservative. Very far away of being liberal.
The Greens are also in charge for economics & adressing the climate crisis while the FDP is in charge for financing. The reason why this is so unfavourable, the FDP constantly blocks ideas and laws from the other two governing parties. In total the FDP ministries are blocking 30 key promises that have been written down in the coalition contract. After greenlighting the cannabis bill the FDP tried to push through with their tax bill which after months of infighting and reducing the household to boost family income, digitazation of the Infrastructure and constantly blocking efforts to legalize cannabis, the Greens had it and blocked the bill proposal from the FDP. In addition to that: You barely hear anything from the SDP. Neither the party nor chancellor Olaf Scholz are displaying themselves in the public eye.
The German coalition is a lot like a toxic relationship where both are the culprits and the victims. While I would agree personally with most of the pragmatic approaches by the government to honestly do something (unlike the prior governments), in the end the incompetency by the SDP and FDP and the compromise solutions by the Greens are much more critically portrayed in the public eye and upheld in the media.
Edit: Grammar.
For those who wonder, how did Petr Fiala get into government if noone liked even their program is because of coalition. They created a coalition SPOLU, where 4 big parties overthrown the fifth ANO. And so there we have SPOLU, where Left and Right govern (or try to) together.
It is not going well, everything takes 4x as much as it did before.
What I always find is that leaders tend to be less popular if they've been in power for some time or if the economic situation isn't good in the country, both of which usually have a negative impact on leaders, regardless of how good they are or what policies they take, they usually end up being a scapegoat for how things are.
Still, with decent policies, they can limit the damage to themselves.
As for the Italian leader being the most popular, well, she's in the honeymoon phase, once that starts to fade away, she will become a lot less popular unless she delivers a miracle on the economy, which seems highly unlikely, where Italy will return to growth but more or less standard growth, that will be enough to hurt her standing in Italy as time goes on, after all, many leaders tend to be popular for the first 2 years in, especially if from a new party, but then the people will expect solid results and in her case, she got into power because Italians want change, if little or nothing changes in a big way on the economic front, her popularity will likely nose dive, probably in time for the next election.
Pedro S..?

What about Orban ?
It is funny how regarding problem and inflation people in the richer EU countries are unhappy, if they come to Bulgaria and see prices are the same like in Germany but here minimum wage is 400euro a month .. maybe they will feel a little bit happier.
They are unhappy with the leaders, because they want it to stay rich.
True but neither should have to live like that. We havent improved since atleast the 90s when it comes to wages, its just the rich getting richer
In the past 2 decades the purchasing power of people in the Netherlands has dropped by over 50%. From what you say it's worse in Bulgaria, which doesn't surprise me. How has the purchasing power changed over there in past 2-3 decades?

Also, you keep forgetting that the extremist far-left and far-right are considered "populist" for a good reason; if politics really only abided by popularity, those extremists would be in power, and then there would be *_NO_* free democracy to speak of -- see how Hitler and Mussolini rose to power.
Fact of the matter is, no one really knows what they want because humans are incapable of seeing the long-term consequences of their actions, and as the broader public in europe keeps shifting ever further towards extremist ideals -- no thanks to the sociopolitical nonsense from the USA slowly being carried over -- such opinions must be further scrutinized now more than ever.
Now, that is not to say that *_all_* of the people disagreeing with, say, Macron don't have actually reasonable takes behind it, but when the major political opposition in France is literally only composed of extremist far-lefts and far-rights, "populism" must be seriously put into question here.

We (Czechs 🍻) used to call ourselves the leaders in middle Europe, and we were in some respects. We are now becoming a debt-driven economy based on quantitative easing, subventions, and redistribution. The analogy to drug additives is fitting here. There would still be time to stop this trend if we wanted. But the mob of 60% wants more drugs instead.
Mark Rutte really has a lot more going for him which significantly increased the dissatisfaction.
A famous quote here in The Netherlands is "Daar heb ik geen actieve herinnering aan", referencing all the times Rutte "conveniently" didn't recall stuff he said or did in the past. Another one which became quite a mess was a note regarding a member of the house, Pieter Omtzigt, and "functie elders" that was caught on camera during the negotiations after the last election. Also some sloppy texts on an old Nokia phone and very bad communication from our government during the start of the Covid pandemic really made a lot of people fed up with him...
That part about conveniently forgetting important things you have said sounds awfully similar to Scholz when he was questioned about a political affair he was involved with. He then tried to "cover it up" by having a non existent medial presence. Like seriously, Merkel was known for playing it save and not being very impulsiv/polarizing, so she didn't make the headlines that often (except during the imigrant and finance crisis), but with this man I sometimes even forget he's our chancellor.
Fiala, not really. The previous PM Babiš was liked because he gave generous handouts from the public purse, at a time where there was no money in the budget. So, he borrowed the money, raising the debt-to-GDP ratio from the mid 40% to 66%. Great! I mean, who wouldn't love him for that? 😂 Certainly, not the people receiving the money. Now, the time has come to pay these back, and tighten the belt. When people elect a demagog in the first place, the next in the line collects the blame. I feel sorry for Fiala for collecting Babiš's junk. It only shows people are corrupt, in getting money they shouldn't get, and then be unhappy when they have to pay it back. Babiš's voters are mainly retirees so people, who expect to get money from the government, not those paying for taxes necessarily.
You just recycle the mainstream propaganda. They need people who believe everything...
🙋♂️ I am 19 and voted for Babiš. And will vote for him again.

While national leaders like Prime Ministers and Presidents are of course accountable to the people in that country. It would be interesting, especially for such a ranking, to see how these leaders hold up in popularity EU wide.
National leaders, as well as members of parliament are NOT accountable to the people of the country, but only to the people who go to vote. And since the majority does not go to vote because they know that whatever party they vote, they will import immigrants from Africa and Asia, and since the political systems are made so that governments can be formed even if only 30% of voters go to vote, we will continue to have this dictatorship/oligarchy, until more than 70% of people notice the scam and revolt.

In every other election the majority of consituencies vote Conservative. On the bright side, the SNP have been losing support in Scotland since the independence referendum, despite what foreign and some left-wing media outlets would have you believe.
