A little off topic but related.

Across the sea, (or across the border) do you have the same voter apathy that affects the US? (Less that 50% turnout. And thats of those registered)I read an editorial from the Times remarking on it and on how involved the minority is, but no comparrison to other countries.

Maybe if we had an ace politician versus the "packaged commodity types" our politics seems to attract.....
