Prioritization (or the lack thereof)

When asked about issues such as women's driving and providing more entertainment outlets for youth, some decision makers here say: this is not a priority for us in the present time. Very diplomatic, but also very concerning because these officials don't bother to tell people their other priorities, if there was any of course.

I find the idea of prioritization somehow troubling, especially when discussing national issues and in the absence of an elected parliament that reflects the opinion of the nation. I think that some officials use prioritization as an excuse to ignore, avoid, or delay taking decisions even though he knows deep down these are the right decisions to take, only because such decisions don't go well with his personal agenda. What we have now is different trends in the society having different priorities, and different leaders having different priorities, all while our most pressing issues remain unsolved and get even more complicated.

Now my question for you dear readers: if you have the ability to solve one of our national issues, what is the single most issue you would like to solve?
