Why trust in institutions matters?

Trust in national institutions like Parliament and the BBC is crucial for a healthy democracy and society. When trust falls, as the poll shows with confidence dropping to -11% for both, it can indicate public dissatisfaction with how these bodies operate or represent them. This can affect how people engage with news and politics.
