'Ignorance' as used in my post, means lack of knowledge or information on a subject. What it doesn't mean, though people have the right to interpret this word out of context if they are looking to be offended, is foolishness, slow-wittedness or dimness.
Edited to say: How many times on here have Corbyn supporters been called idiots, fools or bonkers? I'm not about to trudge through the archives but if I did, I'd know which posters history to search. Frankly, those comments don't ruin my day

Just as a side note to this, my mum has voted labour all her life because that's how she was brought up, and when I was growing up she'd always say how against the conservatives she was. But in the last election she actually voted for Cameron, and her reason? Because she's getting older and she heard somewhere that older people tend to lean more towards the conservatives!
I couldn't believe it. It had nothing to do with policies or her own beliefs or anything, just hearsay. It's a good example i think that not all voters are informed (sorry mum!) in fact I'd say that you lot are probably in the minority.
