Just basic stuff so that people understand what their vote will mean.

Oh yes, and ENGLISH.

The idea that people who can't speak or understand English are having any say whatsoever in running OUR country beggars belief - and yet so very many do.

Most of us know the difference between capitalism and socialism and some know how the system works. What people don't understand is the slippery conniving lies put out by MPs. No qualification could prepare us for that.

Because one predates on the other. In any case without capitalism there can be no socialism. It's all down to human nature.
