Let's not forget people are lazy too. I can let you know as a Brit our populace doesn't do any research; hence Brexit.

I liked Ben's analogy of a abused partner best.

@emanuelneagu14 Sorry I disagree. People here are very opinionated on a whole raft of subjects. Even now a fraudster like Boris Johnson is still popular with a certain number of our electorate and if we had a election today with Boris vs Jeremy Corbyn again, Boris would still probably win! Research can be done by using the internet and looking up a variety of opinions but people would rather remain ignorant and lazy. When there is so much at stake and society keeps declining it really should incentivise people to start questioning everything they believe. Unfortunately I don't believe anything will improve until there is full economic collapse.

@emanuelneagu14 There is apathy here I agree, a general belief that politicians are all corrupt. But the older people predominantly vote in elections for the right wing party, despite very obvious reasons not to, such as no social care in old age and the deteriorating NHS. I can only conclude it is laziness or selfishness that influences their vote. I know I'm being a little black and white in my thinking but if people don't try to figure out what is wrong and why, then things can never change. I agree we are fighting against an establishment that lies and entertains a dumbed down public with reality TV shows. An informed electorate cannot be so manipulated.
