I'm a well educated woman and barely scratched the surface in my attempt to get past the rhetoric. The only thing that I managed to get into on more than an extremely superficial level was TTIP, as I read a rather worrying article about it. I then found a load of countering arguments and scenarios and read a bit about them. It was all tedious wordy stuff, full of jargon, and bored me rigid, even though I wanted to know about it. Most people voted based on the inaccurate rubbish on the leaflets that came through our doors and the headlines in their favourite redtop, or the DM or Daily stupidity Express which had actually shut up about Princess bleeding Diana for long enough to sow some pretty alarmist seeds of hate.
I've had a rather unproductive day.
