That is a difficult one. TBH most (all) education systems
simply do not have the time for everyone to question
everything.

On the other hand, I can give you a seriously worrying (from
the point of view of getting voters to think about what they
are voting for) incident from the 1987 general election
campaign...

I was out canvassing with three or four others, walking
through an estate on the edge of Dunblane. Suddenly a window
was thrown open and a woman shouted at at one of us "Are you
no' Alison H.....n?" Alison acknowledged that she was. "Your
husband's on the telly, aye?" Alison again acknowledged that
that was true. "Whit party's youse all for? I'm voting or
you." The chief canvasser told her which party we were
campaigning for, and then made another tick on her list.
