    I wouldn't say most people are properly interested. A lot of people I know tend to support a certain group or person so they become part of a following, not because they actually care. But thats not just with politics.

    you guys are screwing up you whole series of countries and trying to have one giant garbage can like we have. Bad Choice. You used to have a whole series of world charm and very interesting people, fun, proud people. now you are trying to herd everyone around a shove sauerkraut and kidney pie up the asses. Go back to the good old days. Let Portugal be Portugal and Italy be Italy.

    Just seems that most people from Ireland/NI that I've met or talked to seem quite interested and not just because they support one particular group or something
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    That's fair enough. Remember, you would be talking to adults, I'm still a teenager so I suppose that explains it. I should have mentioned that.

    Sometimes I think that, sometimes I think I wish I was living in Spain during the Franco era. Then I think it's probably better to live in a crap democracy than a crap dictatorship. Either way you're gonna hate something about it, but at least in a democracy you can openly say it's rubbish
