and what does it matter to them who gov erns the country Only major issue or one that atiects them personally willstir them to voting activity compulsory voting What is the solution Some people favor Apother way is con tlnuing process or education not only by poiitical parties but also by individual men and women possessed of the abiding con viction that to keep the usg it allot they must Time
