I just hope that more people will ignore the fatalism of the argument that we are beyond repair. We are not beyond repair. We are never beyond repair. - AOC

The comments just prove the point, that public perception is usually quite far off from reality.  Even when faced with facts so many will argue their view to the death.   I don't live in the UK yet, and have not been for years, and I scored 60%, which I thought was good, considering lol.

I love democracy, but this reminds me of an FDR quote:

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

I scored 50%, it was interesting to see what I got wrong, as after thinking about it, most of my answers were based on what the media tells me!
