This line
graph charts the percentage voter turnout for all elections held in Britain
(blue), France (brown), Canada (grey) and the United States (green)
since the end of WWII. Through the middle of the century, a time when the West
held up democracy as a bulwark against communism and the evils
of the East, we see a slow and steady
decline in the voter participation. The graph resembles a minimalist landscape.
