🧐 Do people want a world parliament? The results are in! 🗺
@democracywithoutborders.org just released their survey report and the message is clear: democratic global governance is a way forward. 💪
Click the 🔗 to find the report. www.democracywithoutborders.org/40052/world-...
Strongest net support for a world parliament was measured in:
Türkiye +38%
Mozambique +38%
Cuba +36%
Côte d’Ivoire +29%
Senegal +29%
Lebanon +29%
Nigeria +28%
Palestine +27%
Egypt +26%
Zimbabwe +25%
Iran +25%
In countries with limited political freedoms, support for a world parliament is particularly high. This points to a public perception that global democratic institutions could help advance democracy at home as well. 👇
Would you support or oppose the creation of a citizen-elected world parliament to handle global issues? Combined global responses, net support 13 percentage points: Support - 40%, Neutral - 33%, Oppose: 27%
Would you support or oppose the creation of a citizen-elected world parliament to handle global issues? Individual country results by net support, ranging from +38 to -11 percentage points
Those who are more at the periphery of power and influence, whether nationally or globally, are most likely to support the idea of a world parliament. - Global Public Opinion on a World Parliament, Results of the 2025 Nira Data World Survey, Democracy Without Borders
Our findings point to a global constituency open to democratic representation beyond the nation-state and a public readiness for dialogue about the future of the global order. - Global Public Opinion on a World Parliament, Results of the 2025 Nira Data World Survey, Democracy Without Borders, 2026
A survey we commissioned, covering 101 countries, finds that 40% of respondents tend to support a #worldparliament while only 27% tend to be opposed and 33% are neutral. Support is strongest in the Global South.
