I give you a clue on this sentence:

I think big governments are out of touch with the people.

Creo que los gobiernos (demasiado) grandes no están en contacto directo con la gente - con el pueblo.

https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/tr...-spanish/touch

Touch # 5 can give you some inspiration for this one sentence.
  • they're completely out of touchno tienen ni idea
Oxford translates this one as "they have no idea" "they don't have a clue"

Me parece que los grandes gobiernos no tienen ni idea de lo que la gente quiere.

Maybe you can work on the other sentences using the examples in the Oxford dictionary (or others...)

Going sentence by sentence, it will be easier for other forum members to help you. And it will be easier for you taking one thing at a time.
