    Well I can say a member of my family voted for Johnson because he has nice hair. I literally spat out food on hearing that remark.

    We need a better education system for the population. With the education system we have currently, the population will never be savvy to the cons that the politicians are using. Better education is the only way to stop ignorance. Politics and critical thinking should be part of our main school curriculum.

    I would argue that we also need a PR voting system. Currently those politicians only need to con a few thousand people to control 65m. They gear their campaigns to small areas while ignoring the rest. Even changing the population and education system will never eradicate this.
