I think our electorate is perhaps a little better-off in some ways
as they would have a notion of who they were voting for as prime minister.
My problem is that one of the main streams of education is tabloid newspaper, which, rather than discussing political issues that should matter to the electorate, in order to make an informed decision, they prefer to focus on utter disgraceful drivel
'OMG GORDON BROWN HAZ 1 EYE!'
'DAVID CAMERON IS A POSHO!'
Too much weight is given to the superficial, and not enough given to ability, competence, political stance, knowledge, etc.

I don't give a fuck about a politician's private life.
If they're not doing anything illegal, then I'm not interested in what they get up to. If they can progress the country in the way it should have been progressing for the last 30 years, then they can have as many satanic orgies as they want.

It would go like this
"DRBROON FUNDING IN FIRST TERM LEADS TO CURE FOR CANCER AND AIDS"
"DRBROON ERADICATES POORNESS, NOW EVERYONE IS MIDDLE-CLASS, INCLUDING THE POOR"
"DRBROON LEADERSHIP OVERSEES RECORD EMPLOYMENT RATES AND HOUSING MARKET STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE"
"DRBROON HAS A PENIS AND SOMETIMES HE WANKS IT"
"DRBROON FORCED TO RESIGN"
