Do you ever wonder if people in Politics and News & Events are really that ignorant and poorly educated?
Or if these sections are just filled to the brim with trolls?
I see questions that make me wonder if they are on meds. Or if they really believe all the propaganda that prompts them to post the most vicious question.
So.. are they for real? Or trolling?

Sadly, I think a lot of them are representative of quite a large proportion of the population. In the UK, in both England and Scotland (two separate education systems) it is perfectly possible to leave full time education without a clue how government works at any level. It's embarrassing. Add to that there is a culture of taking pride in ignorance. It's all too easy to whip up the public with some well chosen outrageous statements. I meet with these people daily in real life.
