Each faint dot is one country in one year, plotted by its estimated trust in parliament (horizontal) against its estimated trust in the courts (vertical). Selecting a country draws its year-by-year trajectory through the cloud, with an arrowhead on the most recent segment.
Cloud: every country-year for which both estimates are available. Dotted line: equal trust in courts and parliament. Each dot, and each point along a trajectory, is plotted at the posterior mean of the model's estimate for that country-year.
