> It isn't limited to just the EU. It's perfectly rational for the majority of people to be ignorant to politics. It takes a lot of work to be informed and when you are the power you wield as an individual is little. Twitter does a great job of showing this since it's so easy for people to flaunt that ignorance, people can just post or comment on whatever thing comes to mind, then other people will link to whatever dumb thing is posted to show how uninformed the poster is, while being no better.
