Policy alienation

Policy alienation is when people start to feel disconnected, disconnected from their government and the officials who make decisions about their lives. This happens when people don't feel like their opinions are taken into account when policies and laws are created, or when they don't understand what the government is doing and why. It can lead to people feeling mistrustful or hostile towards decision-makers and feeling like they have lost control of their lives. People might start to believe that their voices don't matter or that they don't have a say in how their country is run.
