  We learnt a lot about the Romans and Viking, which I found interesting. But why was that more important than civics? Also, osmosis is a crap way to learn a complex topic IMO. I think if you ask UK people basic civics questions (such as 'does the UK have a written constitution' or 'what are the rights of asylum seekers') the majority won't know. And this means that political discourse is at a much lower level than it could be.

  Same here - UK education but nothing civics-related. Shame, would have been interesting.

  How will people decide who to vote for now that so many of the pubs are shut and a pint costs you an hours pay (after tax, ofc)?
