Ineffective governance has detrimental impacts on societal trust, leading to widespread disillusionment among citizens. When leaders fail to deliver on promises or address critical issues, public confidence in government institutions diminishes. This erosion of trust can result in decreased political participation, increased apathy, and heightened social discontent. Citizens may turn to non-democratic means to voice grievances, escalating tensions within society. Additionally, ineffective governance can create a cycle of instability, as persistent issues lead to calls for more drastic solutions, including radical political reform or upheaval.
