This report was linked on a German site today. Although it had been done for the British democracy, I think that major statements and conclusions (as far as I have flown over them) are valid for all Western democracies as well. Main focus is on the decreasing legitimiation of governments due to increasing numbers of voters being turned away by a politcial system that they perceive as abusing democratical structures, and that instead of encouraging participation in politics tend to discourage any engagement due to resignation and a thinking of that politics has no more anything to do with the people that it should represent.
