I think you are very wrong. Other than political junkies, NO ONE is interested in the debate, but EVERYONE who has even caught a glimpse of the news or a newspaper in the past week or two is up in arms over the financial situation. the most APOLITICAL people in the universe are on tenterhooks about the financial situation.
“the most APOLITICAL people in the universe are on tenterhooks about the financial situation.”
I doubt that’s the case this week for the adult population as a whole. Many people have still heard little about the financial crisis, or they pay little attention to details until something actually happens. I know some people who’re furious and some who consider it typical politicians’ rhetoric, and some who’ve given it little thought. It’ll spread to more people each day, and depending on what happens, more and more people will form some opinion in the coming days.
