Europeans Have Lost Faith In Government

The economic crisis in Europe has led to a loss of faith in government.  This has occurred in the rich countries as well as those most affected by the economic crisis.  There are major concerns about how tax dollars allocated and what they are spent upon.  A concern about corruption and the influence of lobby's on government is much more pronounced than it was before the crisis.  The public has also lost confidence in the media.  This was particularly evident in England which has witnessed the hacking scandals conducted by one of Rupert Murdoch's newspapers.
