Article: As Scorn for Vote Grows, Protests Surge Around Globe

On 27 September 2011, the "New York Times" published on its website an article by Berlin-based foreign correspondent, Nicholas Kulish, titled "As Scorn for Vote Grows, Protests Surge Around Globe".

Excerpt: "[F]rom South Asia to the heartland of Europe and now even to Wall Street, these protesters share something else: wariness, even contempt, toward traditional politicians and the democratic political process they preside over. They are taking to the streets, in part, because they have little faith in the ballot box. ... 'We're the first generation to say that voting is worthless.'"
