Solution

Answer: The following are some reasons why there has been a decline in the voter identification with the political parties

The generational changes have impacted on this shift in a major way. The young generation is more educated and cognitively mobilized. There issues are different from the issues of the previous generations but the parties have not been able to make this shift in their focus.
