Do the marginalised accord less legitimacy to state and government institutions than the precarious and integrated?
The current climate of scrutiny (without the infrastructure to respond within an adequate time) is making the position of student-led projects very precarious.
However, 50% of the marginalised indicated that they would do nothing, as opposed to 18% of the integrated and 32% of the precarious.
Are the marginalised more dissatisfied with the political economic system than the precarious and integrated ?
Again, there is an association between being marginalised, precarious or integrated and tolerance for anti-democratic behaviour by government.
Again, the larger proportion is found among the marginalised (26%), decreasing to 18% for the precarious and 4% for the integrated.
Alternatively, those in the middle may choose, temporarily, to leave the bureaucracy and operate, for instance, in electoral politics, from a precarious social movement base.
A close reading of these two protests shows the sometime 'citadel of the avant-garde' at a distinctly precarious moment in its history.
