How would I describe somebody taking an action [voting] whilst unaware of how the [political] system works? The latter is highly complex and ever-evolving (from Magna Carter through to de-tribalising of House of Lords); The former is usually someone who wants the best for themselves, their family and, hopefully, the country.
I certainly won't dispute that there are ignorant, unimaginative and/or hopelessly brainwashed voters out there but I'll give a pass to those who mistake the leader for the party - they're usually a pretty good indication of what lies beneath.
Didn't mean to offend but the whole "educate them!" thing sounded a bit North Korean...

Please Sir!

Can I be put in charge of Mandy's re-education?

Cheers
